# Material Selection Skill

## Purpose

The Material Selection skill provides systematic capabilities for selecting materials using Ashby methodology and performance indices, enabling optimal material choices based on functional requirements, manufacturing constraints, and cost considerations.

## Capabilities

- Ashby chart generation and interpretation
- Performance index derivation for design requirements
- Material property database access (MatWeb, CES)
- Environmental compatibility assessment
- Manufacturing process compatibility evaluation
- Cost and availability analysis
