INTRODUCING MULTIMECH FOR ABAQUS

Say goodbye to curve fitting and guessing about your composite's properties.

What is MultiMech for Abaqus?

MultiMech for Abaqus is a plugin for Abaqus/Standard. It lets engineers use MultiMech's breakthrough microstructure modeling and multiscale analysis techniques completely within Abaqus. This means that engineers no longer need to generate material cards to capture the unique behavior of their composite microstructure. Instead, they can use the raw-material properties of the constituents to derive the composite properties.

ACCURATELY PREDICT COMPOSITE MATERIAL BEHAVIOR

MultiMech for Abaqus™ is the first software ever to allow a TRUE Multiscale™ analysis to be performed entirely within Abaqus CAE.

This means that you can take advantage of the unparalleled accuracy of MultiMech without adjusting your current modeling and analysis workflow.

Further, you can add a realistic MultiMech Material to your existing Abaqus models as quickly as you could fill out an Abaqus material card!

MICROSTRUCTURE GENERATION

Generate Complex Composite Microstructures in a matter of seconds. Take into account variations in geometry, strength, and orientation.

REALISTIC DAMAGE MECHANISMS

Rather than use curve fitting to model a composite's non-linear behavior, Multimech
develops sophisticated damage mechanisms to capture the physics of how constituents interact and fail.

FULLY PARALLELIZED MULTISCALE

MultiMech's one-of- a-kind Microstructural FE solvers are embedded and fully parallelized within Abaqus, a truly breakthrough approach.

POWERFUL POST PROCESING

See where and why damage initiates within your material microstructure. No other tool offers this level of insight and visibility into a material's behavior

ELIMINATE GUESSING AND COSTLY OVER-ENGINEERING

Using our realistic modeling tools and breakthrough computational techniques, engineers can stop wasting time destructively testing parts and spend more time innovating.

By using MultiMech, design engineers can eliminate physical testing by up to 80%

IMPLICIT STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

MultiMech for Abaqus supports implicit mechanical analysis of ALL types of heterogeneous materials.

ACCOUNT FOR MANUFACTURING PROCESS

MultiMech integrates with major tools that predict manufacturing-induced design variation within composite parts, like Moldflow, Moldex3d, etc.

ACCESS COMPREHENSIVE VIRTUAL TEST DATA

MultiMech outputs detailed data on your part and material response, down to the lowest details like the strain in an individual fiber.

Reduce trial-and- error related costs and speed up production.

MultiMech for Abaqus takes this mission to a new level.

This tool is the first of it's kind to embed a 3d, nonlinear, fully parallelized Finite Element solver into the framework of an existing FEA platform!

Using MultiMech for Abaqus, you get all the benefits of MultiMech without having to leave your favorite modeling and simulation tool.

Features include:

• Automatic Microstructure Generation
• Composite Material Library
• Material Homogenization and Virtual Testing Tools
• Injection Mold Mapping
• TRUE Multiscale™ Analysis within Abaqus/CAE
• Ability to zoom into material microstructures
• Robust post-processing data

MultiMech develops breakthrough technologies to eliminate the guessing associated with the analysis of heterogeneous advanced materials. Now, this award-winning technology is available within the familiar and powerful Abaqus CAE platform.
