The localized material properties are mapped onto the structural mesh. This supports major structural solvers including MSC Nastran, Marc, Abaqus, and ANSYS. Engineers run linear, non-linear, impact, or crash simulations using realistic, manufacturing-informed material behaviors. Industry Applications
This is where by Hexagon comes into play. As a state-of-the-art Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) platform, Digimat bridges the gap between material suppliers, part design, and structural performance. Key Highlights of Digimat:
A specific module designed to interface micromechanical material models directly with commercial Finite Element Analysis (FEA) structural codes. What is Moldex3D?
Bridging the Gap: How Hexagon’s Digimat and Moldex3D 2023 Revolutionize Composite Manufacturing
| Software | Type | Cost | Limitation | |----------|------|------|-------------| | | Open-source multi-scale modeling | Free | No GUI, requires coding | | Elasticity Solver (FreeFEM) | Homogenization of periodic composites | Free | No injection molding workflow | | QBlade (for composites) | Wind turbine blade design | Free | Only 2D shell composites |
Digimat is a market-leading micromechanics modeling platform developed by e-Xstream engineering (a Hexagon company). It allows engineers to predict the behavior of multi-phase composite materials.

’s world-class injection molding simulation with Digimat’s multi-scale material modeling, you get a continuous, highly accurate digital thread Moldex3D | Plastic Injection Molding Simulation Software
If you are looking to deploy this simulation workflow for your upcoming projects, I can provide more specific details. Please let me know:
Digimat acts as the central material intelligence hub. It reads the manufacturing data exported from Moldex3D. The software applies micromechanical formulations, such as Mori-Tanaka or self-consistent schemes, to compute localized anisotropic material properties for every single element. 3. Structural Validation in FEA Solvers
