The Material Model Laboratory

New Version Notice

Matmodlab has been superceded by Matmodlab2. Please use this updated version. Matmodlab will not be mainted/developed any further.

What is it?

The material model laboratory (matmodlab) is a material point simulator developed as a tool for developing and analyzing material models for use in larger finite element codes.

System Requirements

matmodlab has been built and tested extensively on several versions of linux and the Apple Mac OSX 10.8 operating systems.

Required Software

matmodlab requires the following software installed for your platform:

• Python 2.7 or newer

• Numpy 1.8 or newer

• Scipy 0.13 or newer

matmodlab is developed and tested using both the Anaconda and Enthought Python distributions. We recommend using one of the two, instead of building and installing Numpy and Scipy manually.

Optional Software

• Fortran compiler
