Displays a relative value based on the predicted injection pressures and cooling times across a range of geometries.
Materials are rated from one to five. Materials that are processed more efficiently have a lower value.

Note: If the Energy usage indicator is not available, there are two possible reasons.
- Legacy material data from a personal database or a previous study sometimes does not include environmental information. Reload the material from the current database to view these parameters.
- The calculations for few materials cannot return an injection pressure or cooling time for all the geometries tested.
