Manipula/SMCM 4.0

Manipula

The software package Manipula/SMCM 4.0 is designed for finite-element multiscale (micro-meso-macro) modeling of composite materials, composite structures, and their manufacturing processes, with pre- and post-processing capabilities and support for high-performance computing systems.

General Information

The Manipula/SMCM 4.0 software package is intended for finite-element multiscale modeling (micro-, meso-, and macro-levels) of composite materials, composite structures, and their manufacturing technologies.

It includes pre- and post-processing tools and supports calculations on distributed high-performance computing systems.

Key Features and Advantages

Manipula/SMCM 4.0 allows performing the full cycle of tasks arising in the design of composite material structures. Its functionality includes:

  • Modeling the properties of composite materials (micro- and meso-analysis)
  • Modeling composite structures (macro-analysis)
  • Modeling the manufacturing processes of polymer composite structures

Manipula/SMCM 4.0 has its own graphical user interface, with key capabilities:

  • Import of geometric models
    Supports the most common formats of modern CAD systems
  • Cross-platform
    Windows/Linux
  • Flexible computing
    Allows calculations in different environments (CPU/GPU/MPI)

Mesh Generators: Includes built-in mesh generators, and also supports importing meshes (tetrahedra, prisms, pyramids, hexahedra) generated externally, including from ANSYS.

Multiplatform support: Calculations can be performed on multiprocessor computing systems based on various GPUs and CPUs of different architectures (including the domestic “Elbrus” CPUs).

Verification: The functionality of Manipula/SMCM 4.0 has been verified through comparative calculations performed with reference software (ANSYS).

License Cost

The software package Manipula/SMCM 4.0 is provided to organizations based on concluded license agreements.
