Matereality Releases DatabaseLite for ANSYS Workbench

By DE Editors

DatabaseLite for ANSYS is a free material database and CAE Modeler software from Matereality. The CAE Modeler is designed to operate within the ANSYS Workbench platform, and includes an interactive environment in which users can transform raw material data into an ANSYS material model and then review, edit or update the model as needed within Workbench. Engineers can assess the quality of the material model by viewing the raw data and data certificates from test laboratories and suppliers. The resulting simulation can include an embedded link to the exact data source within Matereality.

DatabaseLite for ANSYS contains free material data for about 50 material models ranging from simple elastic material models to temperature dependent stress-strain data, MISO models, hyperelastic data inputs for rubber, fatigue data on metals, rate-dependent tensile data for ANSYS Explicit STR, and visco-elastic data and thermal properties on polymers. Materials include metals, plastics, foam and rubber.

A 2,0000-plus material models master database upgrade is available for purchase. The upgrade includes plug-ins that permit CAE Modeler for ANSYS to operate completely within ANSYS Workbench.
