VFM: Material identification with the virtual field method (optional)
- Complete identification of mechanical material parameters on the basis of full-field measurements
- Automatic determination of weighting factors in the optimisation solver to maximise parameter sensitivity and minimise the effects of noise
- Generation of full-field voltage maps
- Elasticity, plasticity, hyperelasticity, visco-elasticity and visco-plasticity
FEVAL: Finite element model validation (optional)
- Mesh and node converter for Abaqus, Ansys, Siemens, … for shell/volume and linear/square formulations
- Processing the FEA data through the same filters (subset, shape functions, interpolation, etc.) as the real experimental data
- This levelling approach guarantees a true digital twin
- Determination of the frame alignment by including the calibration parameters and reference points
- Generation of full-field error and validation maps showing possible model errors
- Batch processing available so that the finite element model can be updated
