Composites Manufacturing & Simulation Center

A Purdue University Center of Excellence. The CMSC is a leader in the education and training of a new generation of engineers. A Collaboration of the College of Engineering and the Purdue Polytechnic Institute. Our Research: Composites Manufacturing Simulation & Validation Develop a comprehensive set of simulation tools that connect composites from their birth in manufacturing to their lifetime prediction. Advance the certification of composite products by analysis validated by experiments and teach the use of these tools to the current and future generations of engineers. Work with industry, academia, and government to put these tools in the hands of engineers. Composites Additive Manufacturing Predict and measure the anisotropic deformation that occurs in printed elements. Include a description of anisotropic element shape change during deposition. Anticipate performance of the printed element. Mechanics of Structure Genome Unify the length scales of structural mechanics and micromechanics. Enable modeling of composites with the same accuracy and ease as metals. Interface seamlessly with conventional FEA codes for high-fidelity composites modeling. Simulate in the cloud using SwiftComp deployed on cdmHUB. cdmHUB Online Composites Community The Composites Design and Manufacturing HUB (cdmHUB). Convene the composites community to advance certification by analysis. The cdmHUB supports certification by analysis through developing and disseminating simulation best practices and through education and evaluation of composites simulation tools.
