Material Library: High-Fidelity Physical Properties Data

At Edelweis, we recognize that a simulation is only as accurate as the material data driving it. We reject the use of generic placeholders. Our Centralized Material Library (CML) provides a synchronized database of high-fidelity physical properties, ensuring that every CAD model carries the precise mechanical "DNA" required for advanced CAE & Validation.

1. The Edelweis Material Standard

Every material entry in our library is verified against international standards (ASTM, ISO, DIN) and supplier data sheets to eliminate discrepancies:

• •
  Mechanical Isotropics: Beyond standard density, we define Poisson’s Ratio, Shear Modulus, and Yield/Tensile strengths for specific manufacturing tempers (e.g., T6 for Aluminum).
• •
  Thermal Dynamics: Accurate Thermal Expansion Coefficients, Conductivity, and Specific Heat are embedded to support complex CFD and Heat Transfer studies.
• •
  Non-Linearity & Hyperelastics: For polymers and elastomers, we incorporate Stress-Strain tables to allow for accurate FEA under large deformation.

2. Manufacturing-Specific Metadata

3. Surface Finish & Texture Mapping

• •
  Anisotropic Reflections: Brushed or machined surfaces mapped with realistic light-scattering properties for high-end rendering.
• •
  Coating Simulation: Accounting for the physical volume and mass of surface treatments (powder coating, anodizing) in precision assemblies.
• •
  Color Matching: Appearances locked to RAL/PANTONE standards to ensure visual fidelity during stakeholder reviews.

4. Custom Material Characterization

For partners using proprietary alloys or composites, we offer specialized characterization services:
