Pre-processor Software for Calibration of LS-DYNA® Material Models
LS-DYNA contains a wealth of material models that allow for the simulation of transient phenomena. These models are often quite complex and difficult to calibrate. We present CAE Modeler, a generalized pre-processor software used to convert material property data into material parameters for different material models used in CAE. In this paper, CAE Modeler is used to streamline the conversion of rate dependent stress-strain data into material parameters for the MAT_024 material model. The interactive software is capable of handling all three rate dependency options of MAT_024 and outputs a data file that can be read directly into LS-DYNA. Support for other material models is envisaged.

Matereality (www.matereality.com), offers software for material data visualization, CAE material parameter conversion, and management. The goal is to provide fast, easy-to-use services that foster in-depth understanding of purpose-specific material behavior, eliminate typical risks associated with generic data, and accelerate the pace of product development. |
Software for Materials
Materials information is an aspect of product data that must be accessible by engineering teams at many phases of the product lifecycle. Every aspect of this complex and highly varied data can now be carefully organized in libraries and supported by analytical tools and software modules to aid materials engineers, CAE engineers, test labs and designers in their daily tasks. When deployed across the enterprise, the Matereality software brings harmony, efficiency and control while minimizing risk.
Software solutions for everyone
Matereality provides material database creation software, productivity enhancing software, and customized application management solutions for groups and individuals involved in manufacturing enterprises.
Designed by engineers, for engineers
Our goal is to aid in all of the steps of product lifecycle management, enhancing productivity, and eliminating potential risks from inappropriate use of material data.
