Introducing Workflows for Material Calibration

From test data to calibrated results

Material calibration brings test-data preparation, transformations, specimens, simulations, and comparison into one connected workflow.

A physical coupon and measured load-displacement curve are transformed into a material response, fitted through parameter optimization, applied to a meshed finite-element coupon, compared as simulated and test curves, and returned as feedback to the fitting stage.

Import Test Data

Data import and processing from Labs are the most time-consuming and error-prone activity for any material science or simulation engineer.

With Physical Test application, you can import test-data (curves and images) from Excel, CSV/TSV or any Text Format.

Import multiple tests from a single ZIP file from well-known Labs that include OSU, Waterloo, DataPoint Labs.

  • Excel, CSV/TSV, or any Text Format
  • Multiple tests in a single ZIP file
  • Custom rules for repeatable data import

Define custom rules and re-use them to automate the data import.

Clean, Sanitize and Transform Data Using 1000s of Available Functions

With hundreds of material specific curve transformations, you can sanitize and transform data with no scripting.

Our no-code philosophy has resulted in data-transformations that finish faster and reliably to accelerate the generation of data for simulations.

Rich Specimen Library

Run simulations quickly with zero-model-build-time by using built and ready-to-use specimens from our long and growing list.

Use specimens of different mesh-lengths, sizes and standards with built-in instrumentation for force, displacement and any time-history data. The specimens are linked to the measured data to adjust scaling.

You can also view the specimens within the browser using our Peacock-3D application.

Model and parameter optimization

Prepared test data and ready-to-use specimens support the calibration loop before simulation results are compared with tests.

Run Simulations Anywhere

With d3VIEW's HPC app, run your simulations on-premise or in the cloud with minimal configuration.

Perform single or several in parallel and track them as the solution is progressing.

Automate Data-Extraction from Simulations and Compare with Tests

With the Templates app, you can extract any data (time-history, image, movies) from simulations and compare them with tests to validate the results.

Full-field DIC Calibration

With zero-human-interaction, simulations can be compared with DIC full-field using d3VIEW's patent-pending technology.
