Free Material Property Database - MatMatch

on

 For every engineer (constructor or FEA analysis), an important element of work is the definition and selection of materials.For the FEA engineer for the correct and complete definition of the model, for the designer, the selection of appropriate materials that meet the criteria.

What are the benefits of using such a material base ???

MatMatch is the right choice for assisting computation (modeling) and design. In this database, you can use both the mechanical and thermal properties of the materials listed there. A very important element that distinguishes this base from others is the determination of material properties as a function of temperature.
Below in the link I am giving an example of one of the materials that can be found in this database.
EN 10250-2 Grade C35 normalized and tempered (+NT) - Medium Carbon Steel - Matmatch
Here we can find a plot of Young's modulus as a function of temperature. For CFD analysis, conductivity and heat capacity as a function of temperature can be found. As a free user, not all functions can be explored, but those available seem to be sufficient for both design assumptions and numerical analyzes.
After creating an account on the MatMatch website, it is possible to download material data in Excel and PDF format.
Information is also provided that a registered user can use premium features that are not available without logging in.
An additional benefit of using such a material base is the continuous transfer of data to, for example, your material library in Ansys. It will greatly simplify your work by developing your material base in this way.
I think it is worth using this free material database, unless you have money to spend. Then, for example, you can invest in the Dr. Sommer base, which in addition to material data offers solvers for heating and carburizing calculations for simple geometries.
Your decision also depends on the purpose for which you will use the tool. If you will be doing quick FEA or CFD calculations then I would recommend this free base. However, if you have graduated from materials science and are a technologist or process engineer then you should consider commercial solutions.

Quick Tip: How to fix Error: GENERAL-CAR-CDR in Ansys (Fluent)

 The error message Error: GENERAL-CAR-CDR: invalid argument [1]: improper list means that there is a problem with the scheme code or the UDF (user-defined function) in your case or data file . Some possible solutions are: Save the case and data file and try to reopen it. Reset the Fluent Setup tab and try opening the mesh. Remesh the geometry and reopen in Fluent. Change the material definition from “Solid” to “Fluid” in Design Modeler. Change the transient to steady if you are using evaporation-condensation as the phase interaction mechanism. Check the syntax of your UDF and make sure it follows the new rules in Fluent 6.2.16 or later. I hope this helps you resolve the error. If you need more assistance, please visit the Ansys Learning Forum or contact Ansys Support . Have a nice day! 😊 Sources: 1. smartadm.ru 2. cfd-online.com 3. forum.ansys.com 4. forum.ansys.com In Polish  BÅ‚Ä…d: GENERAL-CAR-CDR oznacza, że wystÄ…piÅ‚ problem z kodem Scheme w programie Ansys Fluent.

Types of supports and examples - Ansys Static Structural

Supports are used to represent parts that are not present in the model but are interacting with it. Supports help truncate the domain, which helps in efficiently obtaining numerically accurate results without modeling parts of the geometry that are not of primary interest. There are different types of support available, among which you need to choose the appropriate one for your analysis. Here are some of the common types of supports and their explanations: - **Fixed Support**: This type of support constrains all the degrees of freedom of the selected entity (body, face, or edge). It means that the entity cannot move or rotate in any direction. Fixed support is equivalent to applying zero displacement to all directions. Fixed support is useful for modeling rigid connections or supports that do not allow any movement. For example, you can use fixed support to model a bolted joint or a clamped beam. - **Displacement Support**: This type of support specifies a zero or non-zero displacemen

How to define porosity (porous medium) in Ansys CFD (Fluent, CFX)

 To model porosity in ANSYS Fluent , you need to define the porous zone and the porous media properties in the setup. You can follow these steps: In the Fluent interface, go to the Cell Zone Conditions panel and select the zone that you want to make porous. Check the Porous Zone option and click Edit. In the Porous Zone panel, you can choose between two methods to specify the porous media resistance: the Superficial Velocity method or the Physical Velocity method. The Superficial Velocity method uses the superficial velocity (the velocity of the fluid if there were no porosity) to calculate the pressure drop across the porous zone. The Physical Velocity method uses the physical velocity (the velocity of the fluid inside the pores) to calculate the pressure drop across the porous zone. You can also choose between isotropic or anisotropic porosity, depending on whether the porosity is uniform or varies in different directions. Depending on the method and the type of porosity you choose,

How to... fix "gui-domain-label: no domain selected" in Ansys Fluent and MEMERR in CFX

In today's post, we will deal with another error that may occur during the analysis. The error that is described below concerns Fluent and the wrong definition of user monitors that are displayed during simulation. These can be monitors concerning the average velocity in the domain volume, the values of the maximum temperatures of the solid domains, the average values of the heat transfer coefficient from the defined planes of the model, etc. Generally speaking, today's entry is about how to correctly define monitors and how to transfer them between subsequent analyzes.
