Download Two Material Pairs Data

Download simulation-ready best and worst-case scenario material pairs data from AMDC Stick-Slip database to Squeak and Rattle Director (SnRD).

  1. On the AMDC home page, click Stick-Slip database > Go to Altair's Stick-Slip database.
  2. Select a material pair and then click Details.
    An Info tab opens to the right displaying the general information of the selected material pair.
    Note: Click to view the material information in full screen mode.
  3. Click the CAE Model tab.
    The Select Software displays Squeak and Rattle Director as already chosen.
  4. Select a scenario from the Scenario list. By default, the Worst Case Scenario is chosen.
    Figure 1. Material Pair Preview


    The Material Pair Preview displays the following:
    • Material Pair 1 Worst Case Scenario (selected by default): Displays important material properties including impulse rate value for the worst-case scenario for the selected material pair.
    • Material Pair 2 Best Case Scenario: Based on your selection, AMDC suggests the opposite scenario. In the current example, AMDC suggests best-case scenario with lower impulse rate value and other material properties for the same selected material pair.
  5. If you do not want the suggested second material pair you can choose a different material pair. Click the Select Another Pair link from the AMDC suggested Material Pair 2 preview.
    1. Select the required material pair from the Select Second Material Pair window. For your reference, the selected first material pair is highlighted in green.

      Note: Use the Quick Search field to filter the list and select the required material pair.
  6. Click Download to export the material pairs data as a CSV file to the SnRD director.

    Column Name Description
    Source Indicates the name from which the data is sourced.
    Name Displays names of a material pair. For example, ABS & ABS+PC, Bayblend T65.
    Material 1 Displays the material names of first material pair.
    Material 2 Displays the material names of second material pair.
    RPN Displays the RPN values of both material pairs, separated by a hyphen
    Inv(IR) Displays the inverse impulse rate values of both material pairs, separated by a hyphen.
    Relative Velocity Displays the relative velocity values of both material pairs, separated by a hyphen. (For example, 4 - 5)
    Normal Force Displays the normal force values of both material pairs, separated by a hyphen. (For example, 40 - 40)
    Temperature Displays the temperature values of both pairs, separated by a hyphen. (For example, 10 - 10)
    Note Indicates the traceability (any changes made to the original dataset) of the data.
