EDA®
NEXT GENERATION
MATERIALS DATA SYSTEMMaterials Technology with Passion
Materials are the key enabler for innovative and resource efficient products. Matplus experts develop industrial material technologies - from the idea to the finished semi-finished product – as part of their daily work. Their successful operations rely on advanced systems for material simulation and material property databases – which are now available also for customers: EDA® the leading solution for materials engineering and beyond.
EDA® enables seamless integration of data management, modelling and knowledge management.
More than Material Reference Data
✓ 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
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. It is the cloud-enabled end-to-end solution for the entire lifecycle of materials information. Interfaces to test machines, CAE- and CAD systems and other enterprise software can be configured.
Why Materials Information Management using EDA®?
Customer voices
“We decided to upgrade to Matplus EDA® and now benefit from extended capabilities”
Dr. Thomas Witulski, head of materials and processes at Otto Fuchs KG
“Using EDA® we reach our goals much faster thanks to better evaluable data”
Dr. Walter Berger, CEO at voestalpine Research Service
How Can EDA® help you to generate business value?

Improve Quality
of products and processes, create sustainable products

Decrease Time
for processing of inquiries and quality management

Lower Costs
by managing complexity, alloying & energy costs
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.

High Throughput Calculations
High Throughput Calculations using EDA® in combination with JMatPro® and Matcalc® can be used to invent new alloys, to stabilize production processes, to find the most robust variant within the wide span of a materials designation, etc.

EDA® is the future
proof next generation system -on premises and in the cloud
Sustainability
EDA® stores all data in an industry standard data format (JSON) – no proprietary formats
Scalability
EDA® is a scalable solution using state-of-the-art micro-services (Docker) for integration into any environment
Extensibility
EDA® uses mature, free and open source software components – designed to be extended by customers
Selected features and properties are :
- Import and export of data from different sources, e.g. xls, csv, JSON
- Visualization through 2D / 3D graphics, tabular comparisons
- Unit conversion, unit-neutral storage of content
- Support for complex data types, such as multidimensional fields
- Free definition of different views on the data
- Multilingualism at all levels (metadata and data content)
- Advanced wiki system with equations (MathJax), data integration, bibliographies
- Integrated management of bibliographies
- Import and full-text indexing of files, e.g. PDF and Office, using Elasticsearch
- Reportwriting with configurable templates in LaTeX quality
- Extensibility in the Python language, use of all scientific-technical Python libraries
