DIGIMAT - New version release

e-Xstream and CADFEM India are very pleased to release DIGIMAT 4.0.1, The nonlinear multi-scale material & structure modeling platform.

DIGIMAT 4.0.1 is a major release including:

The first version of Digimat-MX, the Material eXpert system, developed to facilitate the preparation (i.e. reverse engineering, identification), the storage/retrieval (i.e. Material Data Base) and the secure exchange of DIGIMAT material models between material suppliers and end-users, while protecting the Intellectual Property of the involved parties through material data encryption.

A large number of new capabilities and product enhancements are partly highlighted below.  Please refer to the attached DIGIMAT 4.0.1 Release Notes and Brochure for more details.

Digimat-MF

• ViscoElastic-ViscoPlastic material law to model the time-dependent behavior of polymers;
• A new method to take into account the effect of fiber orientation on the nonlinear mechanical behavior of fiber reinforced plastics;
• General loading where the material “RVE” is subject to a multi-axial and time-dependent load path that can be defined by the user or imported from a global FE analysis.

Digimat-FE

• Debonding of Matrix/Reinforcement interface or interphase;
• A new method to orient the fibers in the material RVE where the fiber orientation is described by 2nd order orientation tensors predicted by injection molding;
• Automatic detection of inclusion percolation occurring in micro and nano-filled materials;
• Faster RVE generation.

Digimat to CAE

• Digimat to RADIOSS, DIGIMAT’s strongly coupled interface to RADIOSS Explicit Solver version 10.0.2;
• Digimat to 3D Timon,  DIGIMAT’s interface to 3D Timon injection molding software;
• Export of tangent material stiffness that can be visualized or used in linear, weakly coupled, structural FEA.

Map

• Mapping of weldline location between the injection molding mesh nodes and the structural mesh elements;
• Display of the material tangent stiffness over the structural FEA mesh;
• Efficient mapping between large FE meshes;
• Enhanced post processing including cut planes, mesh superposition, across the thickness curve plotting,…

Users Documentation (A multi-release effort)

• The content was strongly enhanced and completed with more technical information;
• New format and content organization to improve readability and facilitate navigation.

Licensing

• New license features that enable a flexible usage of Digimat to CAE licenses for linear and nonlinear multi-scale analyses.
