Using DataVis

DataVis is AccessEngineering’s powerful data search and visualization tool for material properties. Designed by faculty, DataVis displays property data in interactive dot-plots and scatterplots across a carefully curated dataset of over 200 materials and 65 properties.

The Take me to DataVis button on the AccessEngineering homepage opens up DataVis, shown below. The View DataVis projects button opens a list of available projects.  DataVis projects also appear in search and browse results and can be found on the DataVis tab.

See the images below for a detailed look at the features available in DataVis.
