Background
MATFEM was founded in 1993 and is
focussed on accurate material modelling in
finite element analyses (FEA). Today there
are three branches:
FEM Services offers consulting
in FEA with focus on non-linear material behaviour.
CommonLab offers the
characterisation of metallic and polymeric materials for
FEA and cooperates with seven partner labs for the
experimental work. SoftMat
develops material models for FEA. The main software
product is the modular material model MF GenYld
+ CrachFEM, which is compatible with several
commercial explicit-dynamic FEA codes. Principal
areas of application are sheet metal forming and
crashworthiness of metals, polymers and composites.
Conference
From 2010 to 2019, five MATFEM Conferences were
held as single-day events.
The 6th MATFEM Conference will be expanded to one
and a half days. Material scientists,
experts in material testing, experts in material
mechanics and CAE users from the industry
are invited to contribute.
Location
The 6th MATFEM Conference will take place
on Schloss Hohenkammer, a seminar centre
in a castle, some 30 km off Munich airport.
