Post₋Processing
Material Parameter Identification | VFM (Virtual Fields Method)
MatchID incorporates the VFM (Virtual Fields Method) for identifying material parameters. This allows for the identification of parameters related to most types of material behavior across various material models. Unlike typical existing methodologies, VFM can be applied to much more complex material models, providing highly accurate results in a short time. Try VFM combined with high-end DIC for enhanced results.
Comparison of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and Finite Element (FE) Simulation | FEVAL
Validating simulations against experimental tests is a universal challenge in engineering. In particular, accurately comparing results from Digital Image Correlation (DIC) with those from Finite Element (FE) simulations has remained a persistent issue.
To address this, the system incorporates the FEVAL module, designed specifically for the validation of structural CAE results. By aligning the measurement data with the simulation outputs and unifying the mesh resolution, the module establishes a one-to-one correspondence between experimental and simulated data. This process enables accurate full-field comparisons across the entire region of interest.
By eliminating discrepancies in spatial alignment and data structure, this approach provides a true digital twin and contributes to the reliable validation of structural material behavior.
