Our JMatPro Products

JMatPro® is a simulation software which calculates a wide range of materials properties for alloys and is particularly aimed at multi-component alloys used in industrial practice.

JMatPro®: The Core Product

You no longer need to scour handbooks or the literature resulting in a long and painful process with incomplete information. JMatPro® offers consistent and reliable modelling of these properties over a range of conditions all available from just one easy to use source.

EDA JM

EDA JM – Extending JMatPro® for High-Throughput Materials Exploration. This extension enables systematic property calculations across large compositional spaces, supporting structured Design of Experiments (DOE) and Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) for efficient material development.

Webinars & Training

Get familiar with the powerful features of JMatPro® and deepen your knowledge with our regular webinars and training sessions. Our experts will show you how to leverage the full potential of the software for your specific applications.

JMatPro® API

The JMatPro® API (Application Programming Interface) can be used to incorporate specific functionality of the JMatPro® software into your own applications. We provide the basic building blocks for you to automate and develop tasks within your own models and to integrate them into your own software.

JMatPro® MPO

The JMatPro® Material Property Optimiser (MPO) is a powerful optimisation tool for the design of multi-component alloys. It builds upon the calculation engine behind JMatPro® by combining it with a multi-objective optimisation method. It allows you to perform calculations aimed at identifying optimal values of decision variables that lead to desired material properties.

Leading Simulation Software

JMatPro® is a product of Sente Software Ltd. in Guildford/UK. We are representative in German speaking countries and offer sales, support, services and trainings. JMatPro® is the best-practice tool for the calculation of temperature-dependent materials properties for a variety of technical alloys, e.g. steels, nickel, aluminum, titanium, magnesium, cobalt, zirconium, copper alloys and tin-based solder:
  • Phase equilibria, phase transformations based on thermodynamics/Calphad
  • Solidification simulation (Scheil, back diffusion)
  • Phase transformation and precipitation diagrams (TTT, CCT, TTP),
  • Physical properties, e.g. thermal expansions, heat capacities
  • Mechanical-technological properties, e.g. strength, flow curves
  • Export of material cards to various CAE systems

Users and Community

JMatPro® is used by leading companies and research institutions worldwide. JMatPro is continuously developed by the team of from Sente Software in England. Regular user meetings in Germany and the USA ensure a lively exchange with users, so that further development remains relevant to practice. The group of satisfied users is growing continuously - we try to strengthen the exchange of experiences in the form of customer days, user meetings and specific training courses. Feel free to ask us for references for your industry.
