Ansys Granta EduPack Enhance your Materials
Teaching

Ansys Granta EduPack—formerly CES EduPack—is a unique set of teaching resources that help academics enhance courses related to materials across engineering, design, science and sustainable development.

Overview

A unique teaching tool to support materials education

Granta EduPack provides support to enhance undergraduate materials education. EduPack includes a database of materials and process information, materials selection tools and a range of supporting resources. EduPack is divided into three levels so that students can access a suitable level of information as they progress through their studies. Granta EduPack has also been designed to support a wide variety of teaching styles, from the design- and science-led approaches to problem-based teaching.

Granta EduPack: supporting materials education across all years of study

Granta EduPack provides the tools to help engage your students by using interactive, visual software. It is available in two versions: Granta EduPack, which contains all data and tools; and Granta EduPack Introductory, which contains a subset of data and tools intended for teaching introductory courses.

Both versions are divided into three levels so that students have access to appropriate materials information as their studies progress. At all levels, Granta EduPack provides students with a comprehensive database of materials and process information that is always kept up to date. In addition, self-study resources are available to stretch stronger students and to help others catch up, providing a flexible tool for every educator to utilize.

Capabilities

Structures Capabilities

Easily handle the complexity of varied design environments with a range of analytical tools that enable you to meet performance goals and ensure long-term reliability.

Comprehensive Materials Information

The Granta EduPack databases contain an unrivalled library of materials information. Draw on materials data at a level suitable for your students and courses.

Materials Selection

Granta EduPack contains powerful materials selection and charting tools. These are designed to make it easy to learn and apply the rational selection methodology pioneered by Prof. Mike Ashby at the University of Cambridge.

Eco Audit Tool

Help students think critically and evaluate the environmental impact of a product. With the Eco Audit Tool, students can test design scenarios and understand the importance behind materials and process choices.

Learning and Teaching Resources

Find inspiration for your teaching and access case studies, exercises, active teaching packages and more.

Granta EduPack includes models for predicting the properties of hybrid materials, enabling comparison with conventional materials and for predicting part costs. You can add your own models and apply the results to property charts.

Advanced Data

Additional databases featuring industry standard data for advanced study and capstone projects.

Synthesizer Tool

Advanced Materials Comparison

Set reference materials, adjust nearness settings to find similar materials, and view material options in a comparison table

Enhanced Eco Audit Tool

Consider cost modelling within life cycle comparisons, allowing trade-offs between economic and environmental considerations.
