Digimat

Digimat Modules

Digimat consists of the following modules: Digimat-MF, Digimat-FE, Digimat-MX, Digimat-CAE, Digimat-MAP, Digimat-HC, Digimat-RP, Digimat-VA, and Digimat-AM.

• Digimat-MF predicts the nonlinear behaviour of multiphase materials using a micromechanical approach. Users define each phase’s material characteristics, the microstructure, and applied loads. All modelling actions follow a sequential model tree.
• Digimat-FE uses a finite element approach to model composite material structure and create a Representative Volume Element (RVE) of reinforced plastic. It complements Digimat-MF and is fully compatible with it.
• Digimat-MX stores, searches, and securely exchanges material models between users. It also supports reverse engineering to calibrate material models from test results.
• Digimat-CAE combines finite element modelling and structural analysis in a single chain. It interfaces with leading injection moulding solvers (Moldflow, Moldex3D, SigmaSoft, Rem3D, Simpoe) and FE solvers (Marc, MSC Nastran, Abaqus, LS-Dyna, Ansys, RADIOSS, PamCrash, SAMCEF).
• Digimat-MAP transfers fibre orientation, residual stresses, temperatures, weld lines, porosity, and volume fractions from injection moulding simulation grids to structural FE meshes.
• Digimat-HC enables fast, efficient design of honeycomb sandwich panels using advanced micromechanical simulation of composite properties.
• Digimat-RP performs structural analysis of reinforced plastics based on the actual composite microstructure from manufacturing process simulation.
• Digimat-VA (Virtual Allowables) runs virtual testing series on specimens and assesses the impact of material property variations on composite performance — replacing physical full-scale tests.
• Digimat-AM virtually simulates 3D-printing of plastic and composite parts, predicting warpage and residual stresses before manufacturing begins.
