Abstract

This demo version of the MMS toolkit introduces the simulation of a compression test using a fully physics-based approach. It is designed to help new users explore the platform functionality for modeling and analyzing mechanical behavior in materials under compressive loading. The simulation workflow follows a three-stage process: - Preprocessor: Define geometry, materials, and loading- Solver: Run the finite element analysis- Postprocessor: Visualize and interpret the results The DiMAT toolkit is designed to be solver-agnostic, meaning it operates independently of any specific solver software. Users are required to integrate an additional solver to utilize the toolkit's full functionalities. We recommend CalculiX as a compatible solver. To ensure optimal performance and avoid compatibility issues, we advise installing CalculiX from the open-source GitHub repository located at https://github.com/AdvancedMaterialSimulation/CalculixSource/tree/main
