Digimat-MF

Digimat-MF is a mean-field homogenization module within the Digimat software, which provides the capability to define the material behavior of a representative volume element as a function of various factors such as:
1.the interaction between the matrix and inclusion phases
2.the morphology of the composite microstructure (including weight, shape, stiffness, and size of inclusions)

Digimat-MF is a user-friendly software tool featuring a tree-structured interface for micromechanical material modeling. Users input the properties of individual material phases, define the microstructural characteristics, apply external forces, and obtain the resulting behavior of the multi-phase composite material.

Digimat-FE

Digimat-FE is used to generate realistic Representative Volume Elements (RVEs) for a wide range of material microstructures, including plastics, rubbers, metals, graphite, and others.

Digimat-FE allows users to define the composite microstructure as well as the material properties of its individual components, with the goal of generating a finite element (FE) model of the composite’s RVE.

Digimat-MX

Digimat-MX is a comprehensive composite materials database that provides access to experimental data measured under varying strain rates, temperatures, pressures, radiation levels, and more. It includes Digimat material files that have been generated through reverse engineering based on experimental results. This software facilitates efficient data sharing among collaborating parties or internally within a design team. Digimat-MX allows users to reconstruct an entire material dataset using a user-friendly parameter identification and optimization tool in the reverse process.

Digimat-MAP

Digimat-MAP is a 3D mapping software used to transfer fiber orientation, residual stresses, and temperature data from the mesh of an injection-molded part to an optimized mesh model for structural FEA calculations.
Fully integrated into Digimat’s multi-scale modeling workflow, Digimat-MAP is a precise, efficient, robust, and flexible tool for transferring fiber orientation, residual stress, and temperature between different 3D meshes used in injection molding simulations and structural analysis. Models mapped using Digimat-MAP in conjunction with Digimat-MF can be used for advanced nonlinear multi-scale FEA analysis in solvers such as ANSYS, LS-DYNA, Abaqus, PAM-CRASH, SAMCEF, and others.

Digimat-HC

Digimat-HC is a multi-scale modeling tool designed for simulating bending and in-plane shear tests of sandwich panels. It is a comprehensive, user-friendly, accurate, and flexible software tool.
Digimat-HC takes into account the influence of the microstructure of both the core and skins of the sandwich structure:
For honeycomb cores, homogenized properties are computed based on the geometry of the honeycomb unit cell.
For the skin, the same modeling flexibility is available. The skin consists of multiple layers arranged in a specified sequence, with defined orientation and thickness. Each layer can be characterized at either the macro or micro level.
In the latter case, Digimat-MF is used to calculate the macroscopic stiffness properties of the layer based on its microstructural description.

Digimat-AM

Digimat Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a comprehensive simulation chain for additive manufacturing, offering a unique combination of process simulation, material engineering, and structural engineering. The goal is to advance the efficiency and performance of AM to a higher level.
Digimat’s virtual compounding and material characterization have become key factors enabling the development of new materials thanks to applying multiscale material modeling techniques to polymers for AM (both unfilled and reinforced). Users can significantly reduce the number of experimental tests, learn about the key parameters determining material behavior, and easily design new material systems—such as lightweight structures—thereby paving the way for even more innovative designs.
Specialized design and engineering tools are necessary for additive manufacturing to successfully become a standard production method. This enables the prediction of part properties after production—and thus optimizes design. The simulation, proposed by e-Xstream, becomes indispensable. Customers can now perform accurate structural analyses and increase confidence in validating plastic and composite part designs by accounting for print orientation and the effects of defects.

Digimat-RP

Digimat-RP (Reinforced Plastics) is a process-oriented solution that enables engineers to perform advanced simulations of reinforced plastic parts and to link their manufacturing processes with final performance parameters in an efficient, highly realistic, and user-friendly manner.
Digimat-RP brings over a decade of expertise in reinforced plastic modeling into an easy-to-use solution that meets the demands of experts while also fulfilling the expectations of non-specialists. Thanks to its intuitive interface and straightforward workflow, no training is required to get the best out of the technology.
Key Benefits:
The software offers high accuracy combined with ease of use
Multiple capabilities (linear and nonlinear, implicit and explicit analysis)
Integration within the CAE environment (interfaces with major CAE software/structural solvers)
Offers an extensive database of reinforced plastic materials (Solvay/Rhodia, Sabic, DuPont, Ticona, EMS, etc.)
Industry standard: used and supported by leading material suppliers, Tier1 suppliers, and OEMs

Digimat-VA

Digimat-VA (“Virtual Allowables”) is an efficient solution enabling engineers to virtually compare materials before engaging in time-consuming physical evaluations. By generating virtual allowable values, engineers can now begin component design in parallel with the campaign of physical allowable values.
Digimat-VA is a vertical solution developed to calculate—rather than physically test—the properties of composite samples (e.g., unnotched, open-hole, filled-hole, etc.) for the purposes of screening, selection, and allowable values computation of composite materials.
Key Advantages:
Define a test matrix in just a few clicks
Generates multiscale material models based on composite datasheets
Models batch-to-batch and process-related variability
Capable of exceeding the scope of CMH-17 recommended practices
Creates an FEA-based test matrix to derive virtual allowable values
