It is easy to use any PolyUMod material model in a MSC.Marc FE simulation. It is not trivial to explain how to do it in words, so I created this video to demonstrate all steps from exporting the material model from MCalibration, setting up the problem in Mentat, and finally running and analyzing the results.
Review of how different material models can be used to predict the non-linear response of PC. Also covers how the yield stress depends on the strain rate.
A quick review of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM), and how it applies to thermoplastics and other polymers.
Already calibrated and ready to use material model for Nylon 66.
