Digimat-MF is the Mean-Field homogenization module of DIGIMAT which offers the capability to define the local material behavior as a function of the material behavior of:

1. the matrix and inclusion phases
2. the composite microstructure morphology (inclusions weight, shape and size)

Digimat-MF is a user-friendly micromechanical material modeling software where the user inputs the material behavior of the phases, the microstructure description and the loading applied to the resulting multi-phase material, guided by a tree data structure.

• 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.

• Digimat-MF homogenisation approach allows accurate prediction of the composite material stiffness, Lucien Douven, Design Engineer, DSM Engineering Plastics 

• Integrated crash pads allow weight and cost reductions. Setting the absorption behavior is only possible through a rigorous composite modeling. An integrated structural analysis with DIGIMAT clearly reveals those benefits. Sandro Wartzack, Head of Simulation, Brose
