Altair, the global technology company providing solutions for product development, high-performance computing (HPC) and data analytics, has presented Altair Material Data Center. It is a modern, comprehensive and high-fidelity database of simulation materials. The database includes thousands of high-quality materials including polymers, metals and composites, directly linked to Altair and other well-known solvers.
The arising opportunities from Altair Material Data Center
Altair recently acquired M-Base, a leading provider of materials database and material information systems, with a particular focus on plastics. Altair Material Data Center, combined with M-Base’s database of plastics, will allow Altair to provide the necessary material information to optimize product performance through simulation.
In fact, this new database enables designers, engineers, and scientists to browse, search, and compare materials in a standalone application or through the interface of their simulation and optimization tools.
What Altair Material Data Center offers:
- Comprehensive material information management system
access to data on metals, polymers and composites, including technical data, raw data, and sheets of solvers with full traceability to the source of the supplier, ensuring valid assumptions and consistency across teams
- Flexible accessibility and scalability
Customers can seamlessly access Altair Material Data Center as a SaaS solution hosted by Altair, or privately to handle proprietary information within the solution - Intuitive user experience
A simple web-based interface to intuitively browse, search, view and compare material data - Comprehensive simulation-centric data views
Material sheets can be generated quickly and easily for Altair and all major solvers - Smooth integration
Through an open API, Altair Material Data Center is able to integrate with any desktop/solver for a seamless workflow - Deepened partnership
Strong relationships with manufacturers, which provide accurate information on materials, high quality and always updated - Collaboration
Experts can collaborate in the care process of the material before its publication in the Altair Material Data Center for specific access to company domains
