DIG120 - Digimat Standard Training – Material & Structural Engineering
This course is to teach the customer how to use the Digimat products to virtually evaluate the performance of new composite material design and to apply this Digimat material model in their FE analysis of a composite part that has fiber orientations predicted by an injection modeling or draping simulation.
Who should attend?
All engineers involved in the design of new composite materials. Managers interested in material modeling and costs saving.
Remark
The theory section are smaller than in the equivalent Digimat Standard Training for Material Engineering or Structural Engineering to keep a length of two days.
Length:
2 days + 1 optional day
Pre-requisites :
Basic theoretical knowledge of material constitutive model (elasticity, elasto-plasticity) is advised. Good knowledge in ABAQUS or ANSYS is welcome.
Topics:
Technical information on the way the program operates, e.g. licensing, file organization,..
Introduction to the Digimat Graphical User Interface.
Mean-field homogenization theory as well as the material models available in Digimat-MF.
Material database management and automatic calibration of Digimat materials in Digimat-MX.
Coupling of Digimat with FEA code in Digimat-CAE. Introduction to the micro solution procedure and brief presentation of the failure criteria definition.
Mapping of fiber orientation tensors, initial stresses/temperatures between two dissimilar meshes in Digimat-Map.
Introduction to designing RVE (representative volume element) for two phases composite microstructures using Digimat-FE.
Exporting the RVE into Abaqus or Ansys to run a finite element analysis on the material and post-processing of the results in Digimat-FE.
Guided exercises to implement the different procedures presented during the course.
