Multiscale Design Systems
Serving the aerospace, pharmaceutical, electronics, materials, civil, and automative industries, Multiscale Design Systems (MDS) offers multiscale design tools to our clients. We are focused on the creation of technologies for the seamless interaction of engineering modeling, simulation, testing, and design for problems involving multiple spatial and temporal scales.
Our multiscale products are beneficial by:
- reducing prototyping costs and time to market
- improving performance and safety (existing commercial codes often fail to match experimental data for complex materials)
- requiring fewer experiments than a conventional phemenological approach
Functionality
The Multiscale Design System (MDS) is a complete environment for the analysis and design of structural components made of composites (CMCs, PMCs, or MMCs), polycrystals, concrete, soil, or any other material system involving a microstructure.
MDS consists of state-of-the-art multiscale analysis tools that fully integrate with ABAQUS (ANSYS and LS-DYNA in progress), as well as an optimization package for model calibration (or parameter identification) and validation.
The multiscale design process consists of several interlinked stages (see diagram to the right), as described below:
- Automates the design cycle, including integration of experiments and simulation.
- Provides seamless integration with the ABAQUS CAE user interface (ANSYS and LS-DYNA in progress).
