“MacroModelMat” (M3) - Macro-level predictive modeling, design &
optimization of advanced lightweight material systems
http://www.sim-flanders.be/
Targeted breakthroughs and progress beyond the state of the art:
 Develop efficient predictive modeling for macro-level quasi-static, fatigue, crush, crashworthiness.
 Linking meso-level damage analysis to macro-level damage analysis
 Macro-scale composites modeling for UD, NCF & textile composites
 Modeling effect of imperfections (from manufacturing or pre-damage) in textile & NCF composites
 Development of suitable CAE models for joining technologies for novel and advanced materials




Basic mechanical properties simulation of AM components with CAE (stiffness, strength & NVH).
Develop fast simulation strategies for vibro-acoustic analysis of lightweight material systems
Virtual material characterization for multi-attribute model parameters of composites & LW materials.
Develop a new hybrid joining. Assess feasibility of ‘bonding/debonding on demand.
