MatLib Abaqus Material Library

The MatLib Abaqus material library contains various constitutive material data that can be used to define the mechanical behavior of materials in Abaqus simulations.

Supported Material Models

Some of the major material data in MatLib for Abaqus are:

Elastic Material Data:

The simple elastic material data defines the material behavior using elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio.

Plasticity Material Data:

Plasticity material data that can capture non-linear plastic deformation behavior. MatLib for Abaqus offers both isotropic and kinematic hardening plasticity material data for metal alloys, polymers, concretes, etc.

Viscoelastic Material Data:

Viscoelastic material data account for both elastic and time-dependent viscous behavior. MatLib Abaqus provides both linear and non-linear viscoelastic material data.

Viscoplastic Material Data:

Viscoplastic material data incorporate both rate-dependent plasticity and time-dependent viscous effects.

Damage Material Data:

Damage material data that can simulate material degradation and failure. MatLib for Abaqus offers continuum damage mechanics and fracture mechanics material data for metals, composites, concretes, etc.

Hyperelastic Material Data:

Hyperelastic material data are useful for simulating the non-linear elastic behavior of rubbers and polymers. MatLib for Abaqus offers several hyperelastic material data based on strain energy density functions.

Geomaterials Material Data:

Special material data for soils, rocks, and other geomaterials. MatLib for Abaqus has material data for rocks, soils, concrete, and asphalt.

Material Data for Abaqus Material Models

MatLib for Abaqus provides a comprehensive set of material models to represent the behavior of metals, polymers, composites, soils, biomaterials, and many other material classes. Abaqus FEA Engineers can choose material data based on the material type and intended application of the FEA simulation.

MatLib Abaqus material library is a new plugin providing instant, clickable access to a general library of materials property data across the Abaqus/CAE, saving simulation time, reducing costs, avoiding errors, and increasing simulation accuracy. A single license gives you access to over 1400+ material data.

Why Choose MatLib for Abaqus Simulations?

In advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA), defining accurate material properties is critical. A single error in density units or yield stress calibration can ruin days of computational time. MatLib acts as your comprehensive Abaqus material database, seamlessly integrating directly into the Abaqus/CAE interface to eliminate human error and save you countless hours.

Key Features of the MatLib Plugin

Developed by the engineering team at BanuMusa R&D, this plugin is tailored for both industrial consultants and academic researchers:

• Extensive Database: Access over 1,400 thoroughly validated material datasets ready to be assigned to your parts.
• Error-Free Unit Systems: Forget manual conversions. MatLib automatically imports properties in your chosen consistent unit system (SI-m, SI-mm, or Imperial/lb).
• Comprehensive Categories: 32 distinct categories including Structural Steels, Aluminum Alloys, Hyperelastic Rubbers, Concrete, Foams, and advanced Composites.
• Advanced Material Models: Fully supports complex Abaqus material behaviors such as Hashin damage, Johnson-Cook plasticity, Mooney-Rivlin, and temperature-dependent properties.
