Seek Information
Material information were obtained by clicking on the material and dragging.
Conclusion
Material families with low price were selected after all the screening. These materials were part of metals or concrete family. For our purpose we cannot use concrete. So the metals were selected and properties were investigated. Cold rolled steel is providing good mechanical properties at the lowest price. So, it is selected for our purpose
