Virtual Material Characterization (VMC) by multi-scale modeling
Generic framework in Siemens NX
Concept Prototype toolset in NX-Open
Multi-scale process workflow in collaboration with
KULeuven MTM and UGent MMS (Belgium)
Objective: generate mechanical material data by
simulation replacing tests (coupon-tests)
Key elements:
• Covers micro (yarn-level) to meso (textile/UD-level) to
macro (application-level)
• CAD interface to geometry modeler WiseTex
(KULeuven MTM)
• fast homogenization method by TexComp
(KULeuven MTM) for stiffness predictions
