Altair® Material Data Center™

Comprehensive Ecosystem for Managing the Material Data Lifecycle

Leverage Altair’s expertise in material engineering, data consolidation, analytics, and simulation with cutting edge material database technologies. Altair® Material Data Center™ provides a comprehensive ecosystem for managing the entire lifecycle of proprietary material data and related information. Additionally, a large material properties database — high-quality reference data with full traceability back to the source — is readily available to deliver the right information precisely when and where it’s needed. Integrated AI-driven tools help bridge data gaps and explore new material models, unlocking new possibilities for material design and analysis.

The development of sustainable, efficient, lightweight designs requires accurate multi-domain material properties. Material Data Center’s unique focus on enabling material data for simulation gives designers, engineers, and scientists ready-to-use material solver cards through a standalone application or their favorite simulation or optimization tool interface.

Why Altair Material Data Center?

Enterprise-Wide Material Intelligence from a Single Source of Truth

Material Data Center enables organizations to consolidate their proprietary data within a secure enterprise workspace. A common material properties database with role-based access control provides a single source of truth for the entire enterprise, ensuring instant access to approved, revision-controlled material data developed with consistent numerical models. Access data sheets, raw data, and solver cards with full traceability back to the supplier source, ensuring valid assumptions and consistency across teams.

Seamless Access to CAx-Ready Material Library Data and Beyond

Material Data Center provides ready-to-use multiphysics data from hundreds of material producers and Altair’s strategic partners. Download simulation-ready material cards from a comprehensive material library database, with full traceability backed by a rigorous data management process. Easily find similar materials and identify cost-effective alternatives to optimize your products and your supply chain. Seamless integration with CAx and third-party applications through APIs ensures effective information flow where needed.

Integrated AI-Powered Material Modeling Excellence

Altair material solutions supplement physical test data with properties and material models developed using Altair® Material Modeler™ and Altair® Multiscale Designer®. Moreover, Altair® RapidMiner® empowers users to harness existing material data through its advanced machine learning technology to generate synthetic material models to predict missing data and unlock new insights in the process. Altair's AI-powered multiphysics material modeling accelerates material innovation, shortens time to market, and cuts physical testing costs.

“Consolidating our material data with Material Data Center was a big step forward. Instead of handling all the information manually and sharing it with customers by email, now they can log on, see what they purchased, and get additional information all in one place.”
