Title: Material selection using CES edupack (granta) software package


Introduction (200 words):
 The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate that you can use the CES Edupack database and interpret
the information that it produces.
 Describe the advantages of using this software package.
 Describe how you used the software package to research the properties of the materials listed.

Once software opened, select level 2 database (level 2 bioengineering for platinum). Once database chosen,
use search bar to look up materials and select them under the ‘material universe’ drop down bar.
For Bulk modulus: use chart select; in chart index, select mechanical properties as the category and bulk
modulus as attribute in the x axis. Select general properties as the category and density as attribute in the y
axis.
