Material Database
DANTE material models require comprehensive data for simulating the heat treating processes, including thermal properties, mechanical properties, phase transformation properties and hardness properties. DANTE material database have the needed data for Steel, Aluminum, and Nickel alloys. DANTE material database is the fitted material model parameters to drive the heat treatment modeling. For material grades not included in DANTE material database, DANTE utility tools can be used conveniently to convert experimental data to material database format for the models.
The Unit System of material database is not optional, please follow the required unit system when developing or customizing new material data. DANTE material database includes:
DANTE material database includes Standard Material Database (SDB) and User Material Database (UDB). The SDB come with DANTE software, and the UDB is designed for users to customize or development their own proprietary material data.
The SDB is located in the directory <Installation_directory>\version\DANTEDB_SDB. Other than the Steel, Aluminum (ALUM) and Nickel directory, there is a Material_ID directory, storing the available materials.
The Material_ID.CTL file located in the Material_ID directory controls the available material names and material ID numbers for Ansys ACT, Abaqus Plugin, and Utility Tools.
The UDB is located in the directory <Installation_directory>\DANTEDB_UDB\version. Similar to the SDB material, the Material_ID.CTL file under Material_ID directory is used to store the available materials.
