MatWeb(R) Provides Over 50,000 Materials to ALGOR Users.PITTSBURGH -- ALGOR, Inc., a leading provider of design, analysis and simulation software, announced that its software users can now effortlessly import material properties from a growing collection of over 50,000 material data sheets through an enhanced partnership with online information provider MatWeb. ALGOR users can access MatWeb's Premium Services to export technical data sheets directly into an ALGOR material library. With just a few clicks, the data can be transferred--fast and accurately. The appropriate property values as well as units are automatically exported into an XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. file, which can then be opened in ALGOR. Premium MatWeb users can create up to five material folders, with up to twenty data sheets in each folder. "We're excited to partner with ALGOR to provide this increased level of service," said Dale O. Kipp, director of MatWeb. "It is a logical extension of MatWeb's capabilities as a broad technical data resource. Engineers and designers now have access to over 50,000 data sheets so they can get property data on the exact materials they need rather than a generic overview. This information is then quickly downloaded into their ALGOR software without the hassles and potential errors caused by manual data entry." "We are pleased to provide our users with this enhanced access to an industry-leading resource for material property data. Using MatWeb's Premium Services, ALGOR users now have direct access to an extensive collection of materials, allowing our users to easily apply properties for materials ranging from AISI AISI American Iron and Steel Institute AISI African Information Society Initiative AISI Alberta Initiative for School Improvement (Canada) AISI As I See It AISI American International Supply, Inc (Oakland, CA) Steel to Zirconium zirconium (zərkō`nēəm), metallic chemical element; symbol Zr; at. no. 40; at. wt. 91.22; m.p. about 1,852°C;; b.p. 4,377°C;; sp. gr. 6.5 at 20°C;; valence +2, +3, or +4. . Being able to specify materials precisely greatly enhances the accuracy of analyses," said ALGOR Product Manager Bob Williams. About MatWeb MatWeb, a division of Automation Creations, Inc. (ACI ACI American Concrete Institute ACI Arch Coal Inc ACI Airports Council International (formerly Airport Associations Coordinating Council) ACI Automobile Club d'Italia ACI American Competitiveness Initiative ) of Blacksburg, Virginia, is a leading provider of technical material data sheets. The heart of MatWeb is a searchable database of material data sheets, including property information on thermoplastic and thermoset A polymer-based liquid or powder that becomes solid when heated, placed under pressure, treated with a chemical or via radiation. The curing process creates a chemical bond that, unlike a thermoplastic, prevents the material from being remelted. See thermoplastic. polymers such as ABS, nylon, polycarbonate, polyester, polyethylene and polypropylene; metals such as aluminum, cobalt, copper, lead, magnesium, nickel, steel, superalloys, titanium and zinc alloys; ceramics; plus semiconductors, fibers and other engineering materials.
