GRANTA EduPack

What do you like best?

I really enjoyed the step by step elimination process in combination with the 'box' and 'line' tool to narrow down candidate materials. I enjoyed the additional detailed data sheet which can be viewed for each material once a shortlist had been created.

What do you dislike?

Sometimes overlapping bubbles on the bubble graphs were hard to distinguish, especially when they overlapped each other

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I had no experience with material analytics before however after one lecture I was as fluent enough to carry out important work during my degree without any support. This was thanks to how straightforward it is to use.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I was using the software for redesigning railway Earthing equipment. I verified that Type E epoxy impregnated glass fiber was the ideal material choice for low conductivity and high resistivity (both electrical). Amazingly the software was able to plot each parameter against the other and generate a bubble graph. This saved me hours of research
