MCalibration
Anisotropic Viscoplastic Material Model Calibration
In this article I show how to quickly calibrate an anisotropic viscoplastic material model to uniaxial tension data.
Graphical Explanation of Modern Polymer Material Models
In this article I explain how you can graphically visualize the rheological model in order to better understand how these models behave.
MCalibration Prony Series
This short note explains how MCalibration defines the Prony series terms, and why it is using a different approach than FE solvers.
Improve Your MCalibration Workflow using the Clipboard
Quick tutorial on how to use the clipboard to improve the MCalibration workflow.
MCalibration Command Line Arguments
Did you know that MCalibration can be used from the command line? This article lists the available command line arguments.
Residual Strain Prediction
Most tests are in displacement control, but residual strain is measured in load control. This article explains how to use this mixed data.
