Altair Material Data Center (AMDC) provides accurate multi-domain material properties to enable the creation of sustainable,
efficient, and lightweight designs.
Visualize advanced and accurate material properties and curves. Also, view material impact using Global Warming Potential
(GWP) and set your data preferences.
View information such as material name, quality, type, provider, version, chemical composition of a material, material
test information, and detailed material properties.
The material properties data such as Fatigue Properties, Mechanical Properties is displayed. The tested data for these
properties is also displayed as supplied by the provider.
Many materials have multi point data associated with them (For example, stress-strain data or PVT data for molding
applications). Such data can be viewed as a plots in AMDC.
An administrator is provided access to the AMDC Dashboard to access specfic administrative related tasks to maintain
up to date information in the Altair Material Database.

Understand a material's thermal endurance and Arrhenius parameters by visualizing
Long Term Heat Aging (LTHA) plots.
To analyze a material's thermal endurance and Arrhenius parameters, set a threshold
value. For a minimum of three intersection points, the Arrhenius parameters are
calculated and displayed.
Select a material.
The Info tab displays general information about the selected
material.
Click Plots.
The Plots list is displayed.
Select the LTHA Stress at Break plot from the list.
The selected plot is displayed.
Click on the plot options menu.
Tip: Hover over the plot area to view the plot
options.
The LTHA Stress at Break and Thermal Endurance plots are displayed.
To analyze the material data, enter a threshold value in Define
threshold in %.
The Thermal Endurance points are displayed. If a minimum of three
thermal endurance points are intersected then a regression line is drawn
automatically and it calculates the Arrhenius Parameter for a material.

export the chart as a PDF document.
Select the Percentaged Representation check box.
The thermal endurance result is calculated in percentage with the 100%
stress applied to the material at different temparatures.
