IMPORTANT INFORMATION: This software tool provides recommendations for material selection based on user-defined parameters and simulated performance data. However, it is crucial to understand the following limitations:

1. Model Validation: The material models are validated at strain rate from 3.33e-4 sec-1 to 0.5 sec-1. Caution is advised when interpreting results at extrapolated strain rates, particularly those exceeding 0.5 sec-1.
2. Simulation Accuracy: The recommendations offered are based on simulated models, which may not perfectly reflect the real-world behavior of materials due to factors such as actual manufacturing conditions and environmental influences.
3. Material Variability: Material properties can vary due to manufacturing processing and raw material composition. Therefore, the recommended material might not exhibit the exact same performance as simulated in every instance.
4. User Responsibility: Users should exercise their own engineering judgment and conduct further research, including physical testing and validation if necessary, to ensure the suitability of the recommended material for their application.
