Digimat Software
DIGIMAT is a state-of-the-art nonlinear multi-scale material & structure modeling platform, which helps engineers to design and optimize composite materials in a fast and cost effective way. From small scale nanocomposites via honeycomb sandwich panels up to fiber reinforced plastics, rubber and hard metals, DIGIMAT software covers a large variety of materials being used in automotive, aerospace, consumer and industrial equipment industries. With its six different tools which can be licensed separately, the DIGIMAT modeling platform also offers a high degree of modularity.
Mean Field homogenization for fast and accurate prediction of non-linear behavior
Using the Mori-Tanaka and double homogenization schemes, DIGIMAT-MF allows the prediction of material properties for all kinds of inclusions and inclusion sizes. Different material models for both, the matrix and the inclusions can be applied to define the micro-structure as accurate as possible. Mechanical, thermal and electrical loadings can be used to analyze the corresponding material behavior for single-layer microstructures as well as for multilayer materials. Different failure modes such as maximum stress/strain, Tsai-Hill, Tsai-Wu, Hashin and many more can be considered as well. A tree data structure makes this modeling tool user friendly.
