A steel database programmed by Arman Nylas (FZK) available on CD

In addition, we have the "structural material database" and "superconducting material database", both part of the old ITER magnet DRG1. They are called database but are a collection of pdf documents. ITER is going to update it but at present there are other priorities.

Many EU devices are underrepresented (JET, FTU, TCV, TJ-II, ISTTOK, etc.).

It would be good if those devices could be more active in the IDD.
