Managing Materials for Superlight Spacecraft

How do you develop super lightweight composites designed to hold liquids at near absolute zero, but rugged enough for the rigors of space travel? It starts by managing material data. This episode with speakers from the Ansys Granta team and Head of Composites at MT Aerospace, Matt Jevons, unravel some of the challenges, solutions and using materials information management as part of their journey to developing their future launch systems. The Ansys team start with an introduction to Ansys Granta MI for aerospace with insight into managing test data, analytics and wider engineering tool integration. This leads into how Matt and his team at MT Aerospace use Granta MI for test data management, pre-screening materials, analyzing material data across departments, and better integrating this with their supply chain. It concludes with some of the next steps for materials information management for MT Aerospace.
