EDA®

More than Material Reference Data

Versatile Solutions for Materials Engineering

Material Optimization

Explorative data analysis of JMatPro® calculations and materials testing

Test Data Management

Consolidate and evaluate demanding test data from different sources

Material Models

Create and fit models for Plasticity, Fatigue, Damage – ready to be used in CAE downstream applications

Knowledge Management

Integrate reference data, own test data, documents and reports to your ‘single source of enterprise materials knowledge’

Designed for Materials Engineering

Supporting and Accelerating Engineering Processes

Flexible Data Processing

EDA® was designed to support and accelerate materials engineering processes. The core is a flexible and extendable data management in combination with configurable rich functionality for processing, evaluation and visualization of data.
  • Cloud-enabled end-to-end solution for the entire lifecycle
  • Interfaces to test machines, CAE- and CAD systems
  • Integration into existing IT infrastructure
Flexible Data Processing

Test Data and Material Models

EDA covers the entire workflow from test data to parametrization of different constitutive equations, e.g. for plasticity models. Such material models can then be exported to CAE downstream applications, like Abaqus, LS-Dyna and more.
  • Complete workflow from testing to material model
  • Efficient parameter identification
  • Export to all major CAE systems

EDA® Modules Features Matrix

Comparison of features and application areas across different EDA modules
Module Full Name Material Development Data Visualization & CAD/CAE Integration LIMS Master Data Management Substance Compliance Assessment Details
Core Module

The Core module serves as the foundational infrastructure for EDA. It includes essential components such as a NoSQL database and a Python middleware layer. This module can be used for read-only access to reference databases, ensuring data reliability and accessibility.
Master Data Management Module

The DM module is dedicated to Master Data Management. It provides flexible data structures and configurable forms for data entry and query purposes. It supports formal revision, release, and withdrawal processes, along with flexible BPMN2 (Business Process Model and Notation) workflows for seamless data management.
JMatPro Module

The JM module focuses on Materials Simulation Integration and Data Analysis. It offers interfaces and Design of Experiments (DOE) capabilities for JMatPro, enabling explorative data analysis for high-throughput materials simulation. This module is invaluable for organizations involved in materials research and development.
Knowledge Integration Module

The KI module empowers users to create structured, metadata-enriched documents, facilitating the creation of reusable structural documents. It offers a web-based editor for easy document creation and includes features like bibliographies, equations, and visualization tools. High-quality publication export via LaTeX is supported, and the module also manages office files, images with metadata, PDF conversion, and annotations. Crucially, it integrates and links information from other modules, significantly enhancing knowledge management.
Data Exchange Module

The DX module provides bi-directional interfaces to various FEM (Finite Element Method), CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering), and PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) systems. It excels in reading and writing Electronic Certificates of Confirmations (eCoC), facilitating efficient data exchange and integration with external systems.
Material Selector App Module

The MSA app supports material selection in product development and can be directly integrated into CAD systems, such as Siemens NX and Catia. This allows assignments between materials and components without employees having to leave their familiar environment. The app offers freely configurable tabular searches, search masks, and graphical material comparisons. It combines best configurability with smooth and ergonomic operation.
Image Processing Module

The IP module is dedicated to image processing tasks, including calibration and measurements. It incorporates AI tools for automated image classification and evaluation, making it an indispensable tool for organizations dealing with image-intensive data and applications.
Material Modelling Module

The Materials Modelling module is designed to merge test data and simulation data seamlessly. It facilitates the creation of mathematical equations and expressions based on the data, along with data visualization. Advanced multidimensional curve fitting is made possible using scientific Python libraries, making it ideal for data-driven materials modeling.
Substance Compliance Reporting Module

The SCR app enables the creation of regulated substance reports based on bills of materials (BOM) with material assignment. BOMs can be manually edited or uploaded as files. The app uses the composition stored in the material database and generates a document listing substances with quantity, proportions, and CAS numbers. The app's functionality can also be provided via a REST interface, allowing PLM and ERP systems to use the substance report.
Project Management Module

The PM module streamlines project management within EDA. It offers Kanban Boards, Gantt Diagrams, and project structures fully integrated into the entire data model. Users can establish links between project-related objects, such as orders, tasks, and materials, ensuring comprehensive project management capabilities.
