JMatPro® reduces testing efforts and allows the assessment of virtual chemical com- positions leading to an optimized material in very short time. Thus, helping to reveal new and improved materials and to reduce costs.
A major benefit of EDA® is the consolida- tion of all referenceable data sources into a single centralized repository available both in the cloud or on premises:
• Material Optimization: Explorative data analysis of JMatPro® calculations and materials testing.
• Test Data Management: Consolidate and evaluate demanding test data with their curves from different sources.
• Material Models: Create and fit models for Plasticity, Fatigue, Damage – ready to be used in CAE downstream applications.
• Knowledge Management: Integrate ref- erence data, own test data, documents, files and reports to the single source of enterprise materials knowledge.
Designed for Materials Engineering
EDA® was built to support and accelerate
Fig 2: EDA® supports the entire workflow from data acquisition to material modelling for CAE
materials engineering processes over the life cycle of product applications:
• Master data management and material approvals
• Qualification processes, material testing and digital test certificates
• Declarations of hazardous substances
• Creation of material cards for CAE (Fig 2)
• Pre-development and design of products and processes with material selection
• Purchasing processes with cost optimiza- tion by reducing the number of variants
Beyond storing information in a big-data compatible database, EDA® provides extensible functionalities for processing, evaluation and visualization of data – hence the name EDA® originates from Explorative Data Analysis.
Consolidation of material cards
Product development using CAE tools is
a standard in industry. Having consistent materials information for all the different tools of an enterprise is still an issue. EDA® helps to consolidate as it can import and
