CYBERNET Multiscale.Sim

Features

• Templates library to automatically create the microstructure of composites
• Homogenization analysis (Numerical Material Test) to predict the macroscopic behavior of materials properties
• Localisation analysis to predict the microscopic behavior of a selected element in the macro model.
• Analysis of Material non-linearities such as Elastoplasticity, Creep, Hyper-elasticity, Viscoelasticity, Piezo-electricity, damage and failure.

Fully integrated add-in tool for Ansys® Workbench™ environment and Ansys Mechanical™ APDL.

Multiscale.Sim is a generic software for multi-scale analysis and simulation that can be used across a wide variety of materials such as short fiber, unidirectional composites, woven and braided material, filler dispersed plastics, porous materials such as lattice and honeycomb structures and metal.

Multiscale.Sim provides a highly accurate Numerical Material Test function to predict both linear and non-linear materials property behavior coupled with structural, thermal, fluid and electromagnetic analysis in Ansys software.

Finding the optimal materials property values without physical testing reduces the number of prototypes and eliminates the need for costly experiments thus supports innovative material design and sustainable manufacturing.

Analysis workflow of Multiscale.Sim

Multiscale.Sim has coupled workflow capabilities with popular CAE tools and supports the integration of big material database and AI for more extensive analysis:

• Ansys Granta MI™ - register equivalent material properties obtained from homogenization analysis and the microstructure data to Granta-MI.
• Ansys Rocky™ –extract particle distribution data from DEM analysis and create accurate microstructure of powder materials.
• Moldex3D® –import molding history and the fiber orientation data of injection molded parts and the RTM process.
• Autodesk® Moldflow® –import fiber orientation data from injection molding analysis.
• Ansys LS-DYNA® – perform Numerical Material Test using workbench LS DYNA for strong nonlinearities such as failure problem.
• Ansys DesignXplorer^TM - Reverse engineering by optimization algorithm and parametric studies based on design of experiments.
