Digimat Mean Field homogenization technology is especially well suited to describe fiber reinforced composites:

• Short fiber reinforced plastics

• Long fiber thermoplastics

• Unidirectional composites

• Woven composites

• Sheet Molding Compound

• Digimat-FE produces realistic (stochastic) Representative Volume Elements (RVEs) for a large variety of material microstructures and can as well depend on on external geometric microstructure description such as micro CT-scan or molecular dynamic results.

• Extremely complex material microstructure morphologies can be realized and a broad range of materials can be addressed:

a. Plastics

b. Rubbers

c. Metals

d. Ceramics

e. Nano-filled materials

f. Foams

• Public Materials Database:

- Ready-to-run Digimat material models

- Experimental data as a base for building Digimat material models

- Private Materials Database setup & tools

• Flexible user/group scenarios

- Data import & reverse engineering of Digimat material models

- Encryption technology for secured sharing

• Capabilities:

- Flexible superposition of meshes and easy transfer of data between the meshes

- Quality assessment by local and global error analysis

- Post-processing of mapping results by microstructure and in-depth investigation of the local material stiffness and response

• Interfaces are supported in Digimat-CAE :
