For decades, Germany has represented excellent cutting-edge research in the field of so-called higher-value constitutive viscoplastic material models and can draw on a large and globally unique pool of material data. However, both the data and the model structure are extremely heterogeneous and sometimes fundamentally different from research center to research center and from industrial partner to industrial partner. In order to address the heterogeneity in the material model landscape appropriately, an adaptable material model is required for the specific application and the specific material. The relevant parameters for the adapted material model must be identified as objectively and automatically as possible. In order to achieve a potentially real-time capable implementation, the material model equation system should be abstracted.

The MaterialDigital platform will create a standard and an interface that will standardize the scientific and technical development of constitutive, viscoplastic material models, increase their visibility and maximize the productivity of future research funding. In addition, the project will make a significant contribution to strengthening the competitiveness of the industrial and research partners involved in the overall project in international competition, thereby securing or creating jobs in Germany.
