Tutorial on how to use a PolyUMod material model in LS-DYNA using Ansys Workbench. The most important set is to use the PolyUMod executable.

This article explains the foundation and multinetwork structure of the PolyUMod TNV material model and why it is so accurate.

This article shows how to fix 2 common problems with viscoplastic material models: E-modulus and large-strain stress.

Tutorial on how to make the PolyUMod TN and TNV models better capture the stiffness non-linearity before yielding.

Version 6.4.0 of PolyUMod includes 2 advanced UCREEPNETWORK and VUCREEPNETWORK models that can be used with the Abaqus PRF model.

Tutorial on how and when to set the ORIENT flag with using Abaqus and an anisotropic material model from the PolyUMod material model.

In this video I will show have to make most Abaqus/Standard simulations that use the PolyUMod library run faster (and with larger time increments). The key is to set an Abaqus time incrementation setting.

The applied stress triaxiality influences the mechanical response of thermoplastic materials in non-intuitive ways. In this article, I will explain how.

Guide to using MCalibration and PolyUMod with COMSOL Multiphysics. A complete start-to-finish tutorial is presented.
