New Developments - Equivalents Finder

Equivalents Finder is a new functionality which allows you to find even
more equivalent and similar material options inside Total Materia!

To help find additional options for material selection consideration,

Equivalents Finder allows you to create a list of similar materials based
on the properties most important to you.

In this use case the task is to try and find suitable similar or equivalent materials for a low
carbon steel which has limited analogues available through the traditional cross reference
tables.
To go to Equivalents Finder you can access either from the cross reference tables directly
or click on the link in the side bar menu.

To begin the search in Equivalents Finder you need to first select which properties you
want to use as a basis for similarity. In this case Yield Stress is the first property we will add.
It’s also possible at this point to define information about the temperature range.
Simply click add property to move to the next step.

If you only want to find materials with a similar Yield Stress then you can optionally define
your standards and select search sensitivity for the comparison.
In this case however, we will add several more properties to the Equivalents Finder to narrow
the list further. We are looking specifically for Russian materials which have a close match
to our original German material.
