Research Associate Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/25/2020 "The place to be for any information regarding materials of various kinds!" 4/5 What do you like best about GRANTA EduPack? I like the vast amount of information of material mechanical and thermal properties listed in the pack. The ability to use graphs and figures to breakdown the comparisons between similar materials can be helpful when predicting design capabilities of potential materials. There is also information regarding various alloys and polymers, which have fundamentally improved mechanical properties in some cases. The processing library holds information regarding shaping, joining and surface treatment that can be useful to learn and apply in practical situations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GRANTA EduPack? The interface is a bit lacking and not too easy to operate for new users. A more minimal layout might help in some cases. They could also implement a library that can redirect you to research papers for a certain material, so the more curious users could learn more interesting information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering GRANTA EduPack: Do check out the vast library of materials and let your curiosity lead you to learning more about this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is GRANTA EduPack solving and how is that benefiting you?

Technology Transfer Engineer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/24/2020 "Good software but has some missing data fields" 4/5 What do you like best about GRANTA EduPack? Simple and full of features to assist engineers in decision making. It is possible to select between several manufacturing processes and identify which are the ones feasible to manufacture the intended part and evaluate the expected costs of each process as well as the environmental impact of the part through its lifecycle. Using a easy graphical interface and automatically generated graphs, I realized the fuel impact of the part during the use in the helicopter. Knowing that, we decided to focus on the weight reduction in order to improve the footprint attacking the main source of carbon release. We initially thought the manufacturing process would be the most environmentally impactful. But thanks to the CES EduPack , we managed to identify the main source of carbon release and invest our efforts and costs in the main issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GRANTA EduPack? There are many take the fields missing in the software that prevent engineers from picking the very best processes. I remember trying to find the manufacturing cost of some processes but depending on the combination of selections, I couldn't get an answer. It was only showing me a null result or a wrong value. I would like to have access to a more complete and accurate database. I saw some mistakes in the information available. I don't remember if there was a feature to create a personal database with data from my process. But it would certainly be a nice to have. I didn't like much the left side tab, because it seemed a bit difficult and not linear to operate. I believe if the software provided a step by step procedure or wizard assistant, it would make it much easier to people who either don't know how to use the software or don't have the full knowledge of what and how to solve the problems the software aims to solve. Process definition and environment impact analysis. Good for identifying feasible processes for manufacturing your parts according to your design tolerances and intended production scale. The software helps with finding information and what to expect from my products and production systems. This can be used to improve your design and optimize it for reducing costs or environmental impact. I used the software to identify the best feasible processes for manufacturing a aerospace component that would be used in a helicopter. I managed to find a good process that would result in lower production costs in comparison to the initially thought process. Then, I used the ECO pack to evaluate the carbon footprint of the part, analysing the carbon impact on each stage of the part lifecycle. Identifying the main impact, I realized the fuel impact of the part during the use in the helicopter. Knowing that, we decided to focus on the weight reduction in order to improve the footprint attacking the main source of carbon release. We initially thought the manufacturing process would be the most environmentally impactful. But thanks to the CES EduPack , we managed to identify the main source of carbon release and invest our efforts and costs in the main issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering GRANTA EduPack: This is a good piece of software that can assist engineers on defining best processes for each part manufacturing, taking into consideration the shape, production scale, tolerance requirements and much more.
