Featured capabilities

Reduced Order Model (ROM) micromechanics

Simcenter Multiscale Designer combines 3D FEA unit cells with a Reduced Order Model to deliver superior accuracy and computational efficiency. An intuitive process develops single or multiscale material models, from brittle/ductile isotropic to heterogeneous anisotropic. Forward and inverse workflows derive homogenized properties from constituents or back-calculate constituent properties from known behavior.
