Description

In Manipula/SMCM 4.0, modeling of effective properties of composite materials is implemented using the asymptotic homogenization method (homogenization method). Among Russian and international CAE-class software packages, this solution stands out for its comprehensive list of calculated effective composite properties, including:

• linearly and nonlinearly elastic;
• hyperelastic;
• plastic;
• viscoelastic;
• other properties.

All composite material models in Manipula/SMCM 4.0 comply with the Russian national standard GOST R 57700.42‑2023 «Numerical Simulation of Polymer Composite Materials. General Provisions».
