Material Console is a workflow and collaboration module for organizing, comparing, tracking, and exporting material data directly within and from Total Materia. It allows engineers to keep material selections, comparisons, and reports connected to live data, enabling reuse of previous work, faster validation, and reliable documentation across projects.

The Material Workflow Challenge


Engineering teams often revisit the same materials across projects and simulations, repeating searches, comparisons, and prior decisions. Results are saved offline in spreadsheets or documents, creating silos that quickly become outdated.
Without the ability to save selections, pin properties or materials, and keep decision context with live data, engineers risk using obsolete information, missing updates, and re-validating past decisions instead of progressing design or qualification work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Material Console allows side-by-side comparison of up to 100 materials using synchronized property tables and graphical visualizations.

Yes. Material Console retains selections, searches, and comparison contexts so materials can be revisited, refined, or reused without restarting the evaluation process.

Saved materials are monitored for standard revisions, property updates, compliance changes, and newly added experimental data, reducing the risk of working with outdated information.

Yes. Material Console supports graphical comparison of properties such as stress-strain curves, enabling engineers to evaluate mechanical behavior and support heat treatment or material selection decisions.

Yes. Material Console supports one-click export of material comparisons and reports, producing validated outputs suitable for CAE/CAx workflows, internal documentation, or audits.
