The chapter provides information on the advanced details such as strain rate, failure, and simulation for a model.
Here are two different criteria for generating failure.
Here’s a quick look at the latest features available with Altair One.
Altair Material Modeler (AMM) is specialized CAE software powered by COMPOSE technology. It rapidly and accurately generates simulation-ready material cards for nonlinear bulk materials like metals and plastics, using raw test data.
View a video to help you learn the features of Altair Material Modeler.
Install AMM on the user's workstation and configure the basic settings to import data and run simulations.
To get started configure these basic settings.
This chapter provides information from preparing data to generating a material card.
Use the toolbar keys to save the session with configurations applied, reload, export curves, quit, and finish.
Enhance the model testing by performing the advanced modeler to generate strain rates, failure, and a simulation run.
If strain-dependent tests have been performed (tensile tests at different velocities) and the curves are available, you can include strain rate dependencies.
If failure dependent tests have been performed (tension, shear, compression tests) and the information is available, to include failure criteria in the curves fit.
This failure model uses a simplified nonlinear, strain-based, failure criteria with linear damage accumulation. The failure strain is described by two parabolic functions calculated using curve fitting from up to 5 user-defined failure strains.
The validation run is supported for Radioss only and it provides a quick overview of your material card.
Here are the equations and functions used in the AMM.
Generate material card using the resolution of X-axis.
