We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Material Properties",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release FEA software extends to new fields from
Abaqus, which we summarised at the time by saying "The new multiphysics technology within Abaqus streamlines the process of evaluating the performance of structures interacting with fluids".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Interface removes the need for data conversion from
Simpleware: "The export interface allows data created with +ScanFE to Comsol Multiphysics 3.4 for modelling and simulation without requiring re-meshing or pre-processing".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Ansys
concerning its SINDA/G for Ansys Workbench
- take a look at Thermal analyser integrated into modelling system
which says: "The SINDA/G for Ansys Workbench plug-in allows users to use thermal features without needing to know the format of SINDA/G or thermal radiation codes".
Take a look also at the news release from Krohne, Flowmeter improves wax production,
as well as Deformable seal cuts downtime from Garlock (Great Britain),
and Predictive modelling validates component strength from Corus Automotive.
