Optimize Material Selection with
Data-Driven Decisions
Seamlessly integrated with the Horizon database, Optimizer acts as the selection gateway for millions of data points from over 570K materials to make traceable material choices by visualizing and balancing conflicting criteria through dynamic plots and ranked lists of optimal candidates.
Engineers spend over 50% of their material selection time comparing datasheets and other dispersed sources to balance conflicting criteria from performance and cost to sustainability and compliance.
The engine normalizes diverse property data from hundreds of thousands of materials to a single plot to bring understanding to big material numbers.
You define the importance of each criterion with a simple weighting system, which adjusts the ranking based on your priorities.
A multi-criteria function calculates a single "score" for each material, presenting results as a clear, ranked list according to a combination of your selected parameters
Make cost effective decisions around material procurement taking into consideration local availability, sustainability, compliance.
visualize large material spaces and remove bad options early, reducing design iterations.
use real material data to confidently move from design to outsourcing.
Clearly see competing goals like cost vs. performance or strength vs. density to choose the best compromise.
