Micromec

MICROMEC® is a program to calculate 3D thermo-elastic properties of composite materials. Inputs are the characteristic values of the components as well as parameter for the amount, shape and distribution of the reinforcement.
MICROMEC®
  • - By default composite materials are anisotropic. Therefore a lot of parameters are necessary to describe the properties of the composites.
  • - MICROMEC® enables a fast and easy determination of the material parameters for such composites. Also, a virtual material design is possible.
  • - By default, base of the calculation of the 3D thermo-elastic properties is the Mean-Field-Theory of Mori-Tanaka. In addition, the calculation can be done by 3D- laminate theory.
    • Characteristics of MICROMEC®
  • - Usage for SFRT, LFRT, CFRP, GFRP, ….
  • - Calculation of the 3D elastic tensor as well as the thermal expansion tensor
  • - Data bases for matrix materials, reinforcement orientation and shape (endless, long or short fibers, plate, sphere, …)
  • - Consideration of fiber length distributions
  • - Fibers can be isotropic or transversal-isotropic
  • - Arbitrary combination of components and distributions
  • - 3D and 2D graphical display of the Young’s Modulus and thermal expansion
  • - 2D graphical comparison of materials
  • - Export of material cards for LS-Dyna®, Simulia Abaqus® or Nastran
