I want to compare the experimental value with analysed value.. so want to know about the softwares available for the same..
almost all analysis software like Abaqus and Ansys can be used for composite analysis. However the problem is in modelling the geometry. Digimat is perfect in pre and post processing for all types of composite materials from fibers to nanofillers. I addition, it has capability of analytical analysis based on the Mori-Tanaka model.
To analyze the mechanical behavior and properties of composite materials I have used the Bluehill 2 testing software, by Instron. This software monitore mechanical tests carried out on universal testing machines (Instrons) and provide important information like, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio and strength strain curve.
I recomend you also free open source code CASTEM or CAST3M that i use to integrate composite with non linear behavior. some of my published results are with this software for aviation industry.
If you want a detailed material model, you should use MAT162 in LS-DYNA. I think abaqus is also very good software.
ABAQUS, ANSYS and MSC MARC are the effective software to analyse the composite material in the different mode of experimental test.
List of software available may be added by Catia, Cosmos, Nastran (finite element method) and Beasy (Boundary element method).
Hi Manjunath,
For analysis of environmental effects (permeability, chemical degradation, mechanical response) on composite materials, you might also check CheFEM software. This software package can work as a stand-alone and/or as a plug-in to mechanically oriented FEM packages such as Abaqus and Ansys.
If this sounds interesting, visit this the following link to learn more:

Hello
you can Create and Simulat RVE of your Composite with Dream 3D and Digimat and using the materials of your choice then you can analyze the data and compare in software like paraview, Ansys, etc.
Sincerely
In general, You can analyze composite material with any FE software that is capable of defining Orthotropic material, therefore, a lot of options are available. However, for specific models e.g., filler modified polymers either you need to develop a code for creating particles and performing collision detection and consequently solving the model or using software like Digimat. First option provides more flexibility in terms of defining different size distribution, dispersion, alignment etc. If you are interested in this kind of modeling, you can check my publications out.
Is any suggested software help me for metal matrix composite analysis?
MSC MARC, ABAQUS, and ANSYS are useful software that can use in composite material analysis in the different modes of experimental test
We used Abaqus to model Reinforced Concrete Sandwich Panels and it did great. I would recommend Abaqus. RCSPs are "macro" compsites so, I'm not in a position to suggest Abaqus for composites on micro level.
ANSYS and Abaqus are the most benefit and available softwares in our field...
There are several software programs that can be used to analyze composite materials. Some options to consider include:
There are many other software programs that can be used to analyze composite materials, and the best program for your specific needs will depend on the type of analysis you are performing and the specific requirements of your application. It may be helpful to consult with experts or review the relevant literature to determine the most appropriate software for your specific needs.
