CAE Modeler

Turn material properties into simulation-ready models

CAE Modeler is a generalized materials pre-processor that converts material properties stored in Matereality libraries into material-model inputs for supported CAE applications.

It identifies materials with the properties required by a selected model, performs the parameter conversion, and writes files that supported simulation software can read. Engineers can review and tune model parameters before creating the final material file.

Model coverage

From measured properties to solver inputs

  • Simple elastic and elastic-plastic models
  • Temperature-dependent and rate-dependent models
  • Hyperelastic and viscoelastic models
  • Fatigue and injection-molding parameters
Matereality CAE Modeler software

Workflow

Keep model creation connected to its source data

  • Find materials with sufficient source properties
  • Convert properties into application-specific parameters
  • Review and fine-tune parameters for higher fidelity
  • Store generated files with their material records
