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)

• Material Models:

• Solvay: "DIGIMAT is a powerful tool that is giving us a new insight into our composite polymers. It's 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", Vito Leo, Principal Scientist, Solvay Advanced Polymers.
