Material data for the simulation

Assess material data for your next simulation

Evaluate material data, add missing property values using AI and decide in a targeted way between AI-based data and material measurement. A reliable material simulation requires suitable material data. The MatIQ Advisor reads your data sheet, compares the information with the material database and adds missing rheological and thermal property values by AI prediction. The result is a simulation-ready material card with a transparent quality label – and a clear recommendation as to whether a targeted measurement by our partner NETZSCH offers additional value.

Wo Material­entscheidungen unsicher werden

Incomplete material data

Can the simulation already start with the available material data? Material data sheets usually contain mechanical property values such as Young's modulus or tensile strength. A filling or flow simulation, however, requires different data: viscosity as a function of shear rate and temperature, pvT behaviour, thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity. It is precisely these values that are often missing – which leaves open how reliable a simulation based on the current data is.

Unclear material suitability

Is the material suitable for the intended process and the specific application? A new material, a different manufacturing process or a changed simulation objective can place new requirements on the material data. A modified geometry can also influence which data is relevant for the technical evaluation. Without suitable property values, material suitability is difficult to assess.

Unclear measurement effort

Which data actually needs to be measured? A complete material characterisation can tie up time and resources. At the same time, not every measurement is necessary for every development decision. The MatIQ Advisor distinguishes between must-have measurements and optional measurements – measurements are carried out specifically where they provide the greatest insight.

A clear path to the right data basis

The MatIQ Advisor helps you to determine the right data strategy for your specific decision.

01

Start with existing data

You upload your material data sheet or existing property values – even if the data is still incomplete. The MatIQ Advisor reads the information automatically, compares it with the material database and adds missing rheological and thermal property values by AI prediction based on the material group.

02

Evaluate data quality transparently

Every material card receives a quality label that shows how reliable the data is and what it is based on – measured values, data sheet information or AI prediction. This lets you see whether the data is sufficient for initial simulations or material screenings and where additional measurements make sense.

03

Combine AI data and measurement in a targeted way

For quick decisions, you receive AI-based material data within a single session. If higher precision and a validated data basis are required, the MatIQ Advisor arranges a targeted measurement at NETZSCH – with results within 8 weeks at most. Both routes complement each other: you can already run simulations with the AI material card while the measurement campaign is under way, and then replace the values with the measured values.

From material question to simulation

With MatIQ, you obtain a simulation-ready material card based on existing, supplemented or measured material data. This material card can be used directly in StrömungsRaum® for technical simulations, for example for a filling or flow simulation in the respective development process.

No additional data preparation is required.

This creates a continuous path from the initial material question through to the technical evaluation.

Materials and processes MatIQ is used for

01

Spritzguss­verarbeitung

Evaluate new or less familiar materials more quickly for simulations and process development, even if initially only a data sheet or individual property values are available.

02

Material manufacturers

Structure and compare material portfolios. Assess materials technically and economically for specific target applications.

03

Extrusion and blow moulding

Assess material suitability and processing windows earlier on the basis of the rheological properties relevant to the respective process.

Reliable decisions instead of assumptions

MatIQ makes transparent the data basis on which a material card is created. The MatIQ Advisor takes into account existing property values, the planned application and the simulation objective. You can trace:
which data is already available,
which information has been added,
how reliable the material card is
and when a targeted material measurement offers additional value.

If a complete, validated data basis is required, the MatIQ Advisor guides you to material characterisation at NETZSCH. If existing or AI-based data is sufficient for an early decision, you can start the simulation or a material screening more quickly.
