Versions are available for Windows and Linux/Pentium. Both versions contain the same data and functionality and a license includes access to both versions.

The user selects the material and property and the software will write out the data either as tabulated data, an Excel equation, a C/C++, FORTRAN, BASIC or Python function or subroutine (screen images). This can then be pasted into the appropriate software to generate the material data as a function of temperature.

This software is especially useful for finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The data can also be written out in formats for direct input into the SolidWorks, COSMOSWorks, COSMOSDesignSTAR, ANSYS Workbench, ANSYS standard and ABAQUS finite element and CAD programs. Download the demo version or see full details of the software.

The user can search the database for materials with properties within a user specified range and temperature. The user can also add their own materials to the database. A calculation function is available so that the user can calculate new quantities from the existing ones.

Most of the properties are for polycrystalline materials, however, some dL/L data is available for single crystals. Click here for the complete list of the materials and properties in the database.
