9 Five Steps to Eco Design // Many levels of integration are available for a number of leading CAD, CAE, and PLM systems: BetaCAE ANSA ® , Altair Hypermesh ® , Simulia Abaqus, Siemens NX® and Teamcenter®, PTC Creo ® , and Windchill ® amongst others. The MI Materials Gateway enables instant access to approved materials data for simulation directly within leading CAE software. Users can also search and browse the materials, view datasheets, and import applicable CAE materials models directly to the CAE environment, complete with full traceability information. These tasks are performed interactively with no risk of error due to data transfer. Key materials data can also be exported into several of these Ansys and third-party environments f rom Granta Selector. Consider environmental performance early in the design process For Everyone For Managers For Designers, Engineers, and Materials Engineers Tip 1 Tip 3 Tip 2 Tip 4 Tip 5 Imprecise data can guide good decisions Consider the entire product system Materials and process decisions are critical to environmental impact and eco design Establish targets and the information to support them Figure 11: Five steps to eco design. / 5. Summary This white paper has provided an introduction to the topic of eco design. We began by discussing some of the commonly cited drivers for eco design. It is crucial to develop a sound business case by identifying which of these drivers are relevant for your company. Having acknowledged the challenges commonly encountered, offered five simple steps to help you achieve your eco design goals (Figure 11). / Request Your Demo Contact our team for a personalized demonstration: www.ansys.com/products/materials/arrange-demo Figure 10: A list of some of the possible integrations between Granta MI and leading CAE, CAD, and PLM solutions. © 2022 ANSYS, Inc.
