DIGIMAT TOOL

UNLOCKING ADVANCED MATERIAL MODELING

Digimat empowers engineers to analyze composite materials at both micro and macro scales. It predicts material behavior and calculates mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties for use in finite element analyses.


Typically, engineers begin by gathering material information and orientation data from tools like Moldflow, 3D-Sigma, Moldex3D, Simpoe, or other injection molding simulation solutions for molded materials. Digimat-MAP calculates residual stresses and temperature for each mesh element during the injection molding process, defining an ideal FEA structural mesh. Users can then seamlessly transition to FEA solvers like MSC Nastran or Marc, or any solver with a direct interface. Alternatively, they can use Digimat MF, MX, and FE to explore composite test data and assess the potential of more promising materials.


This approach allows users to understand the intricate relationship between part geometry, material flow during manufacturing, fiber orientation, and how these factors impact the final mechanical behavior of the component.


INJECTION SIMULATION

PRECISION IN PRODUCTION

Injection molding is a widely used manufacturing process, and achieving precision in production is essential for product quality and cost-effectiveness.
