Morfeo is a modular, object-oriented finite element application built on dedicated C++ libraries covering mesh management, mesh adaptation, material behavior, solvers, and parallelism. It specializes in manufacturing process simulation: welding, machining, additive manufacturing, and powder bed as well as lifespan assessment through fracture mechanics, fatigue crack growth, and damage modeling.
Users can access a library of equivalent welding heat sources with or without filler material using the birth technique.
Morfeo features simplified simulation welding processes based on a stationary approach for distortion prediction.
Perform advanced crack propagation simulations under complex loading conditions alongside advanced machining process simulations.
Challenge: Crack propagation analysis in complex assemblies for design and in-service failure investigation.
Solution: Morfeo/Crack XFEM for automated 3D fatigue crack propagation via levelset functions.
Results: Automated crack path prediction, stress intensity factors, multiple crack handling.
