Avizo Software for composites, polymers and fibrous materials

Composite materials are making their way into many different application areas, ranging from aerospace to automotive and construction. Their properties improve stiffness and strength and allow for design of lightweight components at a reasonable cost.

Avizo Software allows for analysis of the fibers that reinforce composite materials, computing length, orientation and density. It also detects matrix defects such as voids or foreign debris, cracking or delamination, and richness or dryness. Avizo Software can analyze pore networks for the latest micro- and/ or nano-porous composites, allowing researchers to gain a better understanding of the material properties and perform improved quality control on industrial parts made of composite material. Analysis of deformations of the material under physical constraints allows also for damage prediction of deficiencies.
