DIG120 - Digimat Standard Training – Material & Structural Engineering
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.
