Hybrid Modeling of Materials Properties for Improved CAE-Simulations

The new MatPlus software supports the multi-dimensional modelling of materials properties using different data sources. Extensive mathematical functions allow curve fitting of data from different sources to any constitutive models and selectively combining models and datapoints along different dimensions. Physically consistent extrapolation of measured data within the complete multi-dimensional parametric space can be achieved. An integrated library of models can be extended by the user and already contains many popular equations like Hensel-Spittel and Zerilli-Armstrong for flow curves.
