# DI Predictor

<figure><img src="/files/1fgHycVB0aAmb496kcyL" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The DI Predictor tool is used to predict the ideal diameter of steel alloys in the DANTE material database by using the phase transformation kinetics and DANTE material models. This utility is commonly used as a material characterization tool. By adjusting the phase transformation kinetics for a specific material in the DANTE database, the user can compare the ideal diameter results with results from actual experimentation and literature.

## Use Case

As mentioned, one use case for the DI Predictor utility is to adjust the material data inside the DANTE material database. In this case, we are trying to calculate the ideal diameter for the 4140 steel as shown below.

Using the utility, the ideal diameter is approximately 110.09 mm.

Both the hardness and phase transformation kinetics can be adjusted within the DANTE material database for the U41XX material at 0.40% carbon to reach the desired value. To adjust the hardness, open the U41XX.HRD file and find the 0.40% carbon level.

In line 62, the 4th value of 57.5 controls the hardness of Martensite. Increasing this value will increase the hardness of Martensite when performing an analysis as shown below.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://dante-solutions-inc.gitbook.io/dante-6.3-help-documentation/introduction-2/di-predictor.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
