Granta MI

Granta MI is an enterprise materials information management system that consolidates “materials intelligence” (e.g., material properties, test results, manufacturing process data, regulatory/compliance and sustainability-related information) into a traceable relational data foundation, and distributes a consistent set of “approved material data” to business engineering workflows and systems such as CAD, CAE, and PLM.

  • Typical architecture (example): an application server (Granta MI server software/services / web apps / Windows client admin tools) +
    an SQL database for material data storage +
    (as needed) integration clients for CAD/CAE/PLM (e.g., Materials Gateway).
  • Server side (cloud VDI example): in the “Ansys Gateway powered by AWS” procedure, the virtual desktop OS selection includes
    Windows Server 2019 or later.
  • Database: material data is stored in an SQL database (the cloud VDI example presents an option where
    SQL Server Express is installed on the same VDI instance).
  • Client side: web applications (via browser) / Windows client administration tools / Materials Gateway (to reference and apply material data from CAD/CAE, etc.).
