Simpleware Physics Modules

Absolute permeability calculation in Simpleware FLOW

Simpleware SOLID, FLOW and LAPLACE

Simpleware SOLID, FLOW and LAPLACE calculate effective material properties from image data using Finite Element-based homogenization techniques. Quick-semi-analytical estimates or simulations in a built-in FE solver can be used to compute properties for samples (CT, micro-CT, FIB-SEM...). Calculate effective linear elastic properties in SOLID, absolute permeability in FLOW and electrical/thermal/molecular properties in LAPLACE. Choose from a range of boundary conditions and visualize and export your results.
