Ansys Inc. Materials Business Unit – UK
Products & Services
Ansys Inc. Materials Business Unit has a core business for design and development of software products related to: 1. Materials Information Management (GRANTA MI) 2. High quality materials and process data for selection in Concept to Details design phases to support trade-off and ‘what-if’ analysis (technical, environmental, sustainability, risk, cost data) 3. Tools for selection on topics of eco-design, restricted substances, critical materials assessment, circular economy, materials selection and substitution (GRANTA Selector, EduPack, and MI) 4. Integrations with business and engineering workflows such as CAD/CAE/PLM and other modelling software (GRANTA MI) Our main areas of R&D related to materials includes ICME including machine learning and modelling, biomaterials, biomedical materials, risk and sustainability, circular economy, eco-design, additive manufacturing, electronics and electrification, built environment, composites, advanced metallurgy, multi-scale modelling and characterisation, coatings, functional and smart materials, etc.
We support numerous collaborative projects as a partner by providing a centralized materials information management system for the project to enable the pooling and consolidation of project knowledge which would otherwise be dispersed amongst the partners. We underpin active H2020 projects under the headings of Open Innovation Environments (Cornet), Open Innovation Test Beds for various material and process topics from metals to organic electronics (FormPlanet, iTRIBOMAT, nanoMECommons, iCLIMABUILT, MusiCode) which support the roadmaps for materials and process modelling (EMMC ASBL, MarketPlace), and materials and process characterization (EMCC), Pilot Lines (RealNano, FlexPol, AMAZE), raw materials and circularity (TripleLink, EcoBulk, Life+), Eco-Design (RESCOM, PLEIADES), antimicrobial products (FlexPol), additive manufacturing (AMAZE, SAM), among others. We have also worked on national projects for batteries and electrification (Mat2Bat, IDMBAT, EV-JOIN) and additive manufacturing (DRAMA).
