Material Calibration

Strength of Additively Manufactured Parts

Veryst can predict the ultimate strength and failure modes of design concepts generated using topology optimization and produced using additive manufacturing. We use advanced finite element analysis (FEA) that accounts for the nonlinear behavior of the material being used to make the part.

Material Model Calibration

Veryst has extensive experience selecting and calibrating a material model to capture the most important aspects of material behavior for your specific material and conditions during use.

Structural Finite Element Analysis

Veryst offers leading expertise in advanced finite element modeling, particularly for complex, nonlinear problems. We can address problems that other finite element analysis consultants either cannot or are not sufficiently experienced to do well.

Testing

Veryst’s mechanical testing capabilities have been developed over the past decade and are motivated by the need for high quality data to characterize complex polymer behavior.  We tailor our test programs based on our deep understanding of polymer and material mechanics and the challenges complex

Training Classes

PolyUMod and compatibility with Abaqus, ANSYS

Veryst announces important updates to our PolyUMod® software—a library of 23 accurate material models that can be used to represent the nonlinear viscoplastic behavior of many different types of materials. 

Publication co-authored with U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Dr. Jorgen Bergstrom has co-authored (in collaboration with Maureen Dreher and Srinidhi Nagaraja of the U.S.
