This interface allows REM3D users to import in Digimat-CAE per element fiber orientation data prior performing DIGIMAT based nonlinear multi-scale Finite Element Analysis.


In addition to fiber orientation, initial stresses and/or temperature can also be imported in the DIGIMAT based multi-scale FEA using Digimat-MAP.

Digimat-CAE/REM3D interface enables one to:
- Read in the 2nd order orientation tensors predicted by REM3D analyses for each element
- Use this information to compute the thermo-mechanical properties of the composite

• DIGIMAT is a powerful tool that is giving us a new insight into our composite polymers. Its ability to model thermal expansion as a function of temperature, for instance, has been instrumental in understanding some subtle mechanism of warpage of injection molded parts.
