MultiMechanics is a software company based in Omaha, NE. Their flagship product, MultiMech, is a multiscale finite element simulation package used for the structural analysis of advanced materials.
The company was founded in 2010 by Flavio Souza and Leandro Castro.[1] The mission of MultiMechanics is to advance the development of new and innovative products by reducing the reliance on physical prototyping and testing.[2]
MultiMechanics is part of the Altair Hyperworks Partner Alliance[3] and was named the Nebraska Business Development Center’s Technology Company of the Year in 2011.[4]
MultiMech Software
MultiMech is one of several commercially available multiscale simulation technologies for solid structural analysis. MultiMech is a stand-alone Finite Element desktop-based solution that consists of a pre-processor, a proprietary solver, and a post-processor. MultiMech is also able to import models from other FE packages such as Abaqus.
Physical tests have confirmed that microstructural details of anisotropic materials, such as particle/fiber volume fraction, fiber orientation, crack density/orientation, and constitutive properties of the individual constituents have a substantial impact on overall material properties. Multiscale solutions are designed to account for these microstructural details and simulate damages within the microstructure of a given model. Common microstructural damages of advanced materials include:
- fiber breaks
- matrix cracking
- fiber-matrix deboning
- delamination
