Digimat enables engineers to perform both micro- and macro-scale analyses of composites, predicting their performance and calculating their mechanical, thermal and electrical properties. A large variety of composite materials, including those made from thermoplastic and thermoset polymers, and elastomers, can be effectively modeled with Digimat.
Digimat composites modeling technology relies on micromechanical approaches to accurately predict the behavior of multi-phase materials. Digimat offers optimized solutions to bridge the gap between manufacturing process, material design, and structural FEA. Outputs of the manufacturing simulation, fiber orientation, residual stresses, weld lines, void density are used by Digimat to compute the exact non-linear strain-rate dependent material performance of composite materials. NVH, stiffness, crash, durability, creep are examples of analysis where Digimat solutions can be applied. With Digimat as part of your CAE suite, your product development becomes more predictive, enabling you to optimize composite structure design with confidence saving both time and resources.
