MDT: Africa

Notes

All of continental Africa. 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.

The MDT download page (it offers the ability to maintain a custom MDT file, of course you have to be logged in to do this). On the download page you can choose this MDT as the starter and then add any material (from the thousands available). You can also change the name of any of the materials you add thus you can translate the table into your language. You can add any material (even ones that are already in this starter MDT) for the purpose of changing the name. Then generate the MDT and download it (and put it in the INSIGHT data folder).
