In physics we trust!
4a engineering GmbH offers a material modeling software solution including:
VALIMAT™ – from test to material card for Abaqus, VALIMAT™ is the software solution for managing material tests and for the generation of material cards. The software automatically generates FE-Models for the relevant tests. The parameters for the material card are optimized by an automatic reverse engineering process. VALIMAT™ supports the most common FE-solvers and material cards. The functionality was proven by hundreds of projects.
