Digimat

DIGIMU® generates digital polycrystalline microstructures representative of the material's heterogeneities (compliance with the topological characteristics of the microstructure). The boundary conditions applied to the REV are representative of that experienced by a material point at the macroscopic scale (thermomechanical cycle of the considered point). Based on a Finite Elements formulation, the various physical phenomena involved during metal forming processes are simulated (recrystallization, grain growth, Zener pinning due to second phase particles, etc.). In order to improve digital precision and to reduce computation times, the software is capable of providing a precise description of the interfaces (grain boundaries) while using an appropriate number of elements thanks to a fully automated anisotropic meshing and remeshing adaptation technology.

Simcenter Femap is an advanced simulation application for creating, editing, and inspecting finite element models of complex products or systems. You can use advanced workflows in Simcenter Femap to model components, assemblies, or systems, to then determine a model’s behavioral response when subjected to real-world conditions. In addition, Simcenter Femap provides powerful data-driven and graphical results visualization and evaluation, which in combination with the industry-leading Simcenter Nastran, delivers a comprehensive CAE solution that improves product performance. In the quest to make products lighter yet stronger, manufacturers are increasing their use of composite materials. Simcenter is at the leading edge of composites analysis through continuous development of material models and element types. Simcenter speeds the entire process for simulating laminate composite materials through a seamless connection to composites design.
