Engineering & technical selection

Choose the right material, profile or component, with a justification that matches your own specs and the applicable standards.

Material choice

Which steel grade do you recommend for a footbridge in a coastal environment with high corrosion, and why?

Selection by specification

Find a pump for 120 bar, corrosion resistant, suitable for an environment with pH 3.

Compatibility

Does fastening GP-440 fit a ventilated facade with timber battens? What alternatives are there?

Justification

Give the three main reasons why profile HEB 200 is preferred here over IPE 220.

The right component, with a reason

An engineer wants not just an answer, but also the why. PimLayer IQ+ combines your product specifications with the applicable standards and with what colleagues have already worked out in earlier projects. That gives you a selection that holds up, with justification.

Instead of laying out ten datasheets side by side yourself, you ask your question in plain language. IQ+ filters on the properties that matter, takes the environment and the application into account, and points to the source of every claim.

Why this works

A general language model knows the theory of materials and standards, but not your range. IQ+ knows which products you actually carry, which variants are available and which combinations caused problems in practice. That experience is scattered across datasheets, projects and the heads of your specialists. IQ+ brings them together.

Examples

  • Choosing a steel grade for a bridge in a salty environment, with a reference to the standard and to comparable projects.
  • Selecting a component on pressure, temperature and chemical resistance, filtered from your own catalogue.
  • Checking whether two parts may be used together, based on your internal compatibility rules.
  • Justifying a technical choice for the design file, with the right references.
