Introduction to Ansys Material Designer: Multi-Scale Material Modelling and Homogenization

1       Introduction: Why Do We Need Material Designer? Simulating structural components made from advanced engineered materials such as fibre-reinforced composites, woven fabrics, metals with cellular lattices, porous meta-materials, etc. presents a multi-scale challenge. Performing a full FEA down to the individual microscopic fibre or strut level for an entire macro-scale part is practically impossible. For … Continue reading Introduction to Ansys Material Designer: Multi-Scale Material Modelling and Homogenization
