Hi! What do you mean identification of materials. Graphically speaking, in all Granta products (EduPack/Selector, and MI), it is possible to plot material properties in a x-y chart, which is usually named Ashby chart, material property chart or bubbles chart (see below). Such charts based on performance indices help you to determine the best material for a specific problem. It is possible as well to rank materials (in a table for example), to plot links between materials records (in MI), or to plot materials data in any type of chart (barchart, pie...etc) using pythn routine (pyAnsys for MI for example).
