Software & Infrastructure for materials
Matereality provides material database creation software, productivity tools, and application-management capabilities for individuals, groups, and manufacturing enterprises. Its purpose is to support the full product lifecycle while reducing the risk of decisions based on incomplete or inappropriate material data.
Material properties, CAE models, specifications, test methods, reports, and experiment definitions can be organized in one library and made available to materials engineers, CAE specialists, test laboratories, designers, and other stakeholders according to their role.
The Matereality information model
The Matereality architecture connects the libraries that hold trusted information with the applications that help teams create, manage, and use it. Hover or focus a node to see what belongs in each part of the system.

Who uses Matereality
General Engineering
- Consume materials information, properties, and CAE material files
- Assign materials or specifications to parts and bills of materials
- View, analyze, and compare material data
- Prepare plots for presentations and export data to Excel
- Share data with colleagues and stakeholders
Materials Engineering
- Define the materials used by the enterprise
- Collect materials information and properties in one location
- Maintain regulatory information
- Create and manage materials specifications
- Qualify materials to specifications
CAE and Product Development
- Create and save material files for different solvers from raw data
- Archive externally created CAE material files
- Extract properties from CAE material files
- Assemble and deploy master material files to common CAE pre-processors
Test Laboratories
- Add laboratory test data with full contextual information for traceability
- Create test reports and attach them to material data
- Transfer results directly to data owners' libraries
- Operate the lab with eLim for test catalogs, scheduling, analysis, and delivery
Core modules
Move from data discovery to simulation
Viewer

- Apply statistical error banding
Loader
Populate material libraries with properties and their full technical context.
- Capture single-point and multivariate data
- Store images, graphs, equations, pedigree, and traceability
- Fit equations against raw data and attach test reports
Printer
Compile selected test data, graphs, analytics, comments, and observations into paper or PDF reports.
Importer
Import tables, material nomenclatures, specifications, and other materials information, including mapped laboratory output from Excel.
Clipboard
Collect material datasets in a shared workspace for comparison, analysis, and report creation with Printer.
Deployment options
Start with a team or scale across the enterprise
The Material Data Server provides a single platform for storing and deploying any material properties across a site or enterprise. Browser-based access lets users work directly from their desktops without installing client software.
Teams can begin with a scaled deployment for a CAE group or laboratory, or use a Workgroup Material DatabasePro to maintain a private cloud collection of property data, CAE material files, and testing reports. Suppliers can use the same foundation to publish detailed, interactive material data with controlled access for customers and collaborators.
