Laminate Analysis Software

ABD Matrix Pro is a macromechanical laminate analysis program written by a composites engineer that wanted a simple program capable of sizing laminates using the fundamentals of classical lamination theory. The engineer can quickly ascertain lamina failure, margins of safety; optimize force or moment resultants; display an array of results using the robust graphical output capabilities and more. ABD Matrix Pro is an ideal analytical solver for composite designers, analyst, students and anyone else needing a light-weight, inexpensive; yet, cogent composite analysis software.

About

I was looking for a simple piece of code that I could use while learning, designing and sizing composites laminates. So, I decided to write some laminate analysis code. You will benefit from this software; it makes a great learning tool for home enthusiast; students and professionals who are starting out in the field of Composites. However, if you are an experienced engineer, ABD Matrix Pro will be beneficial for you as well.

 

A lightweight, inexpensive tool that produces quick and accurate results for macromechanical laminate behaviours. Quickly ascertain falure, stresses and strains for a laminae or laminate. Plot graphs and record results convienantly and perform what-if scenarios with real-time chart updates based on user input.
