Software
ABD Matrix Pro is a Macromechanical laminate analysis 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 plus much more. ABD Matrix Pro is ideal for composite designers or analyst needing a light-weight, inexpensive yet cogent composite analysis solution.

Ideal for Students, Practicing Engineers, Professors and those who teach a class in Composites.
