  1. MSC.Patran/Nastran-SwiftComp GUI

    0.0 out of 5 stars 

    01 Apr 2019

    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...

  2. MUL2-UC Beam modeling of periodically heterogeneous composites

    0.0 out of 5 stars 

    13 Jun 2017

    The micromechanics code MUL2-UC is developed to work as an efficient and high-fidelity tool for the computation of the effective stiffness matrix and the recovering of the local fields of periodically heterogeneous composite structures. The main novelty is that higher-order beam theories are...

    06 Jan 2017 | Downloads | Contributor(s): Nikki Huang

    This presentation gives a brief introduction to VABS, a general-purpose cross-sectional analysis, which can power conventional, simple beam elements with detailed 3D FEA fidelity. 

  15. Woven fabrics UMAT- a coupled material model

    0.0 out of 5 stars 

    02 Aug 2017 | Downloads | Contributor(s): Ali Roumani

    One of the advantages of woven fabrics over unidirectional prepregs is their superior formability thanks to the large shear deformation capability. There exists, however, a limit on the shear deformation of woven fabrics, namely the wrinkling. Applying tension to delay wrinkling during forming...
