    Transforms 2D compliance terms by rotation about the 3-axis

  2. PreVABS

    16 Nov 2017 | Downloads | Contributor(s): Nikki Huang

    PreVABS is a pre-processing tool for VABS and SwiftComp. This tool is designed to reduce the workload of preparing input files of beam cross sections for VABS and SwiftComp, and to make the process automatic for the design and optimization purpose. Cross sections with general and...

  3. Structure Genome: Fill the Gap between Materials Genome and Structural Analysis

    06 Jan 2015 | Online Presentations

    This presentation is given at 2015 AIAA SciTech conference. A new concept, Structure Genome (SG), is proposed to fill the gap between materials genome and structural analysis. SG acts as the basic building block of the structure connecting materials to structures and the mechanics of SG governs...

  4. Structure Genome: Fill the Gap between Materials Genome and Structural Analysis

    29 Nov 2014 | Publications

    A new concept, Structure Genome (SG), is proposed to fill the gap between materials genome and structural analysis. SG acts as the basic building block of the structure connecting materials to structures and the mechanics of SG governs the necessary information to link materials genome and...

  5. SwiftComp: Right Results Right Away

    13 May 2015 | Online Presentations

    This presentation gives a brief review of SwiftComp which is a general-purpose multiscale constitutive modeling code. It can bridge microstructure with the final macroscopic structural model. It takes a FE mesh of Structure Genome, which is defined as the smallest mathematical building block of...
