Digimat standard training - material engineering

DIG202

Objective

This seminar provides an introduction on how to use a Digimat material model of a plastic or composite part that has fiber orientations predicted by an injection modelling or draping simulation. By using a Digimat material model the non-linear material properties and the effects of the local microstructure of the composite or plastic can have taken into account. The following Digimat modules will be used: Digimat-MF, Digimat-MX, Digimat-CAE and Digimat-MAP.


Content

  • Introduction to the Digimat Graphical User Interface
  • Mean-field homogenization theory as well as the material models available in Digimat-MF
  • Material database management and automatic calibration of Digimat materials in Digimat-MX
  • Introduction to designing RVE (representative volume element) for various composite microstructures using Digimat-FE
  • Exporting RVE into FEA solver to run a finite element analysis on the material and post-processing of results in Digimat-FE
  • Guided exercises to implement the different procedures presented during the course


Prerequisites

Basic theoretical knowledge of material constitutive model is recommended. Good knowledge of an FEA code is recommended.
