  1. HyperSizer for Composites: Insanely Fast Laminate Optimization

    31 Mar 2015

    95% of users, without user manual, and without instruction, will be able to import their FEM and produce optimum composites laminates that satisfy all analyses to all load cases within the first 10 minutes. Your automatically updated model will have minimum weight and fully producible laminates...

  3. MSC.Patran/Nastran-SwiftComp GUI

    01 Apr 2019 | Downloads

    A graphical user interface (GUI) has been developed to integrate SwiftComp into MSC.Patran/Nastran for constitutive modeling and providing the automated conversion of the MSG plate and beam stiffness matrix into MSC.Nastran shell and beam element properties and materials. In order to reduce...

  4. Multiscale analysis of multilayer printed circuit board using Mechanics of Structure Genome

    23 Jan 2019 | Publications

    The structure of Printed Circuit board (PCB) is very complicated because it consists of woven composites and custom defined conducting layers. To improve the reliability of PCB, it is critical to predict the constitutive relations accurately. This study by implementing Mechanics of Structure...
