FEA Support
We understand how our experimental data is used in fitting material models, and how it feeds into finite element
(FE) material cards, therefore we offer services on different levels.
-
Level-1: Experiments (Dedicated Testing Packages in Support of FEA): Experimental packages optimized specifically
to provide the customers the high quality data they need for their internal FE Material Card calibration and development.
(Hardening/Plasticity, Fracture/Stress-triaxiality, Rate Sensitivity, Kinematic Hardening).
-
Level-2: Data Analysis (Calibration & Development of FE Material Cards): Providing the customers with ready-to-use FE Material
Cards for commercial solvers (Forming, GISSMO Fracture including Rate Effects in Crash Events, Springback, etc).
-
Level-3: Support of Finite Element Simulations & Validation (FEA and Experimental Validation on a Component Level)
