# Explore material variations

**Comparing Multiple Diagrams** 

Total Materia Predictor provides a comprehensive toolset for engineers to compare the behavior of materials across different conditions. This feature is particularly useful for visualizing temperature-dependent properties, stress-strain curves, and comparing variations in chemical compositions.

To compare diagrams, follow these steps: 

1. **Add Diagrams to Comparison View**: Once you've performed a prediction for a material property (such as tensile strength at varying temperatures), you can add the resulting diagram to the Comparison View. On the results page of your prediction, there is an option to "Add diagram to Comparison View", which is found in the Material Console section.

2. **Repeat for Additional Diagrams**: You can repeat the process for different material predictions, such as materials with slight variations in chemical composition or different temperature ranges, by adding more diagrams to the Comparison View.

At Step 4 of the Prediction, you can easily return to any previous step to make changes, and then repeat the prediction process.
{% endhint %}

3. **Access Comparison View:** To view and compare these diagrams side by side, navigate to **Material Console → Comparison View → Diagrams**. Here, you can evaluate multiple diagrams simultaneously to assess material performance under various conditions.

**Example 1**: Comparing Stress-Strain Curves at Different Test Temperatures: 100°C and 370°C

**Example 2**: Comparing Stress-Strain Curves for Different Heat Treatment parameters: Treatment temperatures of 1000°C and 900°C

**Example 3**: Comparing Predictions to Reference Data Found in Horizon&#x20;

Another option is to compare the predicted curve(s) with the ones from Total Materia Horizon. As shown in the image below, the curves generated by Total Materia Predictor are highlighted with a purple circle.&#x20;

**Single-Point Comparison**&#x20;

Material Console allows users to generate comprehensive reports by combining material details from Total Materia Horizon and Predictor. This feature is ideal for users making multiple single-point predictions or for those needing to combine Horizon's verified material properties with Predictor's forecasted results.

**Steps for Adding Prediction Results to Report Builder**:

1. **Add Prediction to Report Builder**: On the Results Page, in the top right corner, click the “Add to Report Builder” button.

2. **Customize Report Details**: A pop-up window will appear. Here, you can choose whether to include just the predicted result or add model performance values to the report as well.

3. **Access and View Reports**: To view the newly built report, navigate to Material Console → Report Builder where you can review and edit the content.

**Sharing of Results** &#x20;

Predictor provides three ways to share and collaborate on your prediction results with colleagues:

1. **Export to Excel**: You can directly export prediction data, including key properties and calculations, to an Excel file for further analysis or distribution.
2. **Add to Report Builder**: Combine prediction results with Horizon material data in the [Report](/material-console/report.md)**Builder** for a comprehensive document. This option is ideal for presenting detailed material information along with predicted performance.
3. **Save in Material Console**: Save your predictions for later access. Saved predictions can be revisited, modified, or shared with colleagues, ensuring continuity in the evaluation process.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Shared Links**: Predictions can be shared through links, allowing any colleague with a Total Materia account to view the prediction results. Note that shared links are view-only, so colleagues cannot modify parameters.
