Solution
Avient leveraged Digimat to reverse-engineer material
data based on the microstructure, tensile test data,
and micro-mechanical modelling.
Avient and Hexagon used Digimat to develop anisotropic
long fibre material data for a molded connector rod.
We are putting data to work
to boost efficiency, productivity, quality and safety across industrial,
manufacturing, infrastructure, public sector, and mobility applications.
