MatSim logo

Helius:MatSim is Firehole’s online, micromechanics based composite material simulator. This tool gives material designers, systems engineers, and structural analysts the ability to simulate the material properties of a potential composite material without the need of expensive testing or the development of complex micromechanics models.

  • Results in Seconds
  • No need for an additional FEA Solver on the user’s machine — the solver is completely server based
  • Accurate, proven results

Applications:

  • Material Design — Experiment with potential matrix and fiber materials to create the right composite for your application.
  • Compliance Checks -- Determine the potential for issues when a part is manufactured with materials or fiber volume fractions that were not specified.
