Materials Lifecycle Management System Connecting Material Specialists to Mechanical Simulation

MaterialCentre allows users to drive product innovation in complex materials such as alloys, elastomers, plastics, composites through its unique process and data requirement capabilities. It captures the data from integrated processes thereby providing complete traceability across the enterprise and throughout the lifecycle of the product. It comes with many on-demand commercial databanks and works directly with many commercial CAE products.

With inputs from the world's leading OEMs and enriched with their collective experience, MaterialCenter is the consolidated entry point for all materials-related activities such as physical test data entry and reduction, approval workflow, multi-scale materials modeling and the export of simulation ready data to analysis. The ability to use a consistent source of approved materials derived from traceable integrated processes ensures that engineers can get better simulation fidelity, minimized data loss and avoid laborious manual data management activities.

Key Benefits

Powerful Dashboard

A well-designed dashboard for speedy analysis of data management projects.

Project Tracking

Project progress can be tracked easily through the work request and approval workflow features.

Audit Trail

The Audit trail feature helps keep track of all materials-related processes, inputs and outputs in a simplified way.

Automation approach to data management

Manual data entry activities can be significantly minimized through the process-oriented automation approach. An in-built job queue feature optimizes the execution of material simulation processes.

Web-based intuitive interface

MaterialCenter has a strong user interface for supporting data search, retrieval and comparison of all data types and the web-based interface enables distributed data authoring and maintenance.

Proven Scalability

It offers scalability to address thousands of processes and petabytes to suitably address the engineers’ requirements in times ahead.

Integrated Databank

A comprehensive commercial databank with materials data from multiple industries is integrated for engineers to access easily.

Optional Modules

MaterialCenter Explorer

Explorer is a useful add-on module to MaterialCenter enabling direct access to retrieve CAE Models from one or multiple material records. This module allows users to integrate MaterialCenter with various simulation tools like Patran, SimXpert, Marc/Mentat, ANSA, Abaqus/CAE, ANSYS Mechanical etc. The command options enable MaterialCenter to be integrated and become accessible to custom applications as well.

MaterialCenter Excel Add-In

With this optional Excel add-in module, users can directly publish data generated from various test labs into MaterialCenter. The materials data can be exported into any number of formats and templates and the users can easily set up new templates for data upload and download.
