part material information from a growing collection of 47,000 material
data sheets through a new partnership with online information provider
MatWeb, SolidWorks announced today. This partnership makes MatWeb the
preferred material data provider to COSMOS customers, with COSMOS
referring customers to the MatWeb(R) site for searches and subscriptions
for building customized material data archives on their computers.
MatWeb's searchable archive of material data sheets provides engineers with more than 900,000 data points on the physical, mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical, and processing properties of the materials in their designs. MatWeb has built a customized engine that exports data in native SolidWorks/COSMOS format from the archive into the SolidWorks/COSMOS interface. MatWeb's precise descriptions of a material's properties enable COSMOSWorks(R) software users to accurately predict its behavior in a design under real-world conditions. "We've we've Contraction of we have. we've have seen a demand for this kind of service growing over the last few years," said Dale O. Kipp, director of MatWeb. "Engineers want to have material properties available without too much effort, and without constantly referring to paper manuals or anything else that takes them out of their design environment. Now they can click on a material sheet and the information will automatically flow into their design environment." COSMOS users can search the MatWeb archive and read material data sheets for free. If they want to download To receive a file transmitted over a network. In any communications session, "download" means receive, and "upload" means send. The download/upload often implies a big/little scenario, in which data is being downloaded from the "big" server into the "little" user's computer. information directly onto their computers, MatWeb charges a small subscription fee. "Material information is the essence of analysis. The better the material information, the more accurate the analysis," said Suchit Jain, vice president of analysis products at SolidWorks. "MatWeb has one of the most comprehensive materials archives in the industry, encompassing hundreds of different plastics and metals. Giving COSMOS users the ability to build their own libraries of specific materials will help them validate To prove something to be sound or logical. Also to certify conformance to a standard. Contrast with "verify," which means to prove something to be correct. For example, data entry validity checking determines whether the data make sense (numbers fall within a range, numeric data designs more precisely early in the process, saving on material and prototyping costs."
