Digimat-CAE/Samcef/Mecano is the interface that strongly couples Digimat-MF to SAMCEF/Mecano via the USER DEFINED MATERIAL capability. Digimat-MF is provided as a software library that is linked to SAMCEF to offer a strong multi-scale coupling between the nonlinear micromechanical material modeling capabilities of Digimat-MF and the nonlinear implicit FEA capabilities of SAMCEF/Mecano. In this configuration, Digimat-MF acts as an advanced anisotropic, nonlinear, strain rate and thermo dependent user defined material at each integration point of the SAMCEF FE mesh.

• Accurate Micromechanical Material Modeling:

- Anisotropic: dependent on the microstructure morphology
- Nonlinear: elasto-plastic, with possibly continuous damage
- Strain rate dependent: viscoelastic, elasto-viscoplastic and viscoelastic-viscoplastic matrix
- Temperature dependent: thermoelastic materials

• Accurate Nonlinear Multi-Scale Structure Modeling:

- Heterogeneous material: Anisotropic properties are a function of the local microstructure morphology

• Efficient & User Friendly Solution Procedure:

- Streamlined multi-scale modeling procedure
- Intuitive graphical user interface
