Since 2000, Anne has focused on the impact of better materials data management on companies’ development processes. Going form the impact of a structured and traceable material selection process to the capture of a company’s material IP. Linking material information to PLM, CAD and Simulation tools has led to an easier access to materials information and a widening of the topics covered with companies. Not only focusing solely on product performance, but also costs and sustainability impact.
about the talk | Design of Sustainable Products with Material Intelligence
Any company’s journey to net zero revolves around materials. Product development teams need to assess materials that meet cost, performance and environmental requirements as well as consider changing customer attitudes. However, engineers may be unaware of the sustainability impact of their chosen materials. These considerations must be made at the beginning of the design process, not the end – to avoid expensive re-design and slower product launch.
In this talk, we will go through how engineers can make data-driven up-front decisions on materials at the earliest parts of the design cycle by using Ansys Granta’s material management framework, reference data and assessment tools, including fast in-depth environmental analysis of products, finding alternative materials, and sharing preferred materials lists with sustainability indicators per material.
We will also discuss the importance of having all these tools and data directly available with the Creo and Windchill environment, enabling real-time understanding of the impact of their material choices for a product at all parts of the product lifecycle.
