e-Xstream engineering:
Micromechanical Material Modeling of Composites
e-Xstream engineering develops the DIGIMAT software suite and the related engineering services that is 100% focused on the effective and efficient micro-mechanical modeling of composite materials and structures. We help our customers to increase their profit through innovative and optimal design of composite materials and structures that are brought to market fast and at minimal development cost.
DIGIMAT and its interfaces to the leading Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) software, such as MOLDFLOW or 3D-SIGMA for the injection molding, and ABAQUS or ANSYS for structural Finite Element Analyses (FEA), enable an integrative modeling solution that bridges the gap between the manufacturing process parameters and the final product performance via the composite material microstructure.
Typical applications of DIGIMAT and DIGIMAT to CAE interfaces include the linear and nonlinear static and dynamic thermo-mechanical modeling of glass fiber reinforced thermoplastics used in the automotive and other various industries.
DIGIMAT technology is used by major material suppliers, material transformers (1st tier suppliers) and OEM around the world and across various industries (Automotive, Aerospace, ICT, Consumer and Industrial products,...).
For injection molded parts made of engineering thermoplastics (e.g. PPGF, PAGF, … DIGIMAT offer the capability to accurately model the nonlinear thermo-mechanical behavior of the part up to failure, taking into account the local fiber orientation predicted by injection molding software.
For unidirectional multi-layer composites such as the CFRP used in the aerospace industry, DIGIMAT offer additional accuracy and optimization (weight gain) possibilities through the modeling of the elasto-plastic or time-dependent (viscous) effects seen in the resin or the anisotropic carbon fiber behavior.
DIGIMAT can also be used to accurately model the behavior of Honeycomb sandwich panels, Rubber Matrix Composites such as TPEs or Rubber Alloys and to model the nonlinear micromechanical behavior and failure of hard metals such as CoWC.
