EVEN Releases ComPoLyX v0.5.2 for FEA
 ZURICH,
Switzerland, June 19, 2008 - EVEN - Evolutionary Engineering AG - releases
ComPoLyX 0.5.2, a powerful post-processing tool for composite parts and
sandwich panels.
ComPoLyX enhances the post-processing abilities of your favorite
composite design tool. ComPoLyX evaluates failure measures (reserve factor,
inverse reserve factor and margin of safety) at all integration points for
all layers. These common measures provide easy comparison and combination of
multiple failure criteria for fiber reinforced plastics and sandwich panels.
The failure measures and modes are visualized in an all-in-one plot where
every element shows its most critical failure mode and the corresponding
value. This convenient evaluation and visualization saves engineering time
and discloses the load components which challenge the strength of your
composite structure.
In addition, ComPoLyX supports a unique method for the interlaminar
normal stress evaluation based on layered shell finite elements. This allows
full 3D strength analysis which is important in composite structures where
interlaminar strengths are much smaller than those in in-plane directions.
Each strain and stress component can be visualized ply or layer-wise at
bottom, mid and top. Global plies are maintained within ComPoLyX and can be
accessed for post-processing.
ComPoLyX is easy to operate via the user-friendly graphical user
interface or with python scripts. ComPoLyX supports all major FE-packages.
