MDT: Australia

Notes

We are working on this database and would appreciate if you can give us information about the materials used in your area so we can include them in this list. Our objective is to include generic materials in each MDT and maintain name-brand versions of these for each area of the world. In education, the generic or theoretical materials are employed in ceramic calculations, whereas in industry the chemistries for the specific materials are used.

Use the MDT download page to create and generate your custom MDT and download it (put it in the INSIGHT data folder).
