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.
AMM provides multiple mathematical models for curve fitting and extrapolation according to solver requirements. Additionally,
the expert mode enables you to create strain-rate curves, failure criteria, and run validation simulations.
This chapter provides information from preparing data to generating a material
card.
Prepare Raw Data
To facilitate effective management of multiple files of test results, you should structure the raw data by format before importing it into AMM.
Import Data
Import data files from your local system.
Import Data from AMDC
Import data files from Altair Material Data Center (AMDC) to AMM.
Prepare Data
Each file in the list can be edited individually.
Curve Fitting
Each prepared curve is displayed in the Curve Fitting list. Select the desired curve for fitting.
Extrapolation
AMM provides multiple mathematical models for curve fitting and extrapolation according to solver requirements. Additionally, the expert mode enables you to create strain-rate curves, failure criteria, and run validation simulations.
Generate Material Card
Define the material solver card properties to create a material card.
