Intro to Performance Indices using Ansys Granta EduPack

As established during our “Basic Systematic Materials Selection” course, designers and engineers need to consider materials during design and can use materials selection methodology to do so. But design is often focused on the performance of a product. So how can we ensure our materials will perform as intended in our final product?

In this Ansys Innovation Course, “Intro to Performance Indices,” we will expand on the materials selection methodology introduced in the “Basic Systematic Materials Selection” course and introduce the concept of performance indices, or a single material property or group of properties that represent the performance of our design. By using performance indices alongside the methodology during the design process, one can ensure that all the design requirements and performance needs are accounted for.
