- Description
- The U.S. Army, Army Contracting Command (ACC) Joint Armaments Center (JA), Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000, on behalf of the METC Division at US Army Armaments, Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC), is conducting market research to find vendors capable of providing a commercial finite element software tool with multiscale analysis capability, capable of integrating an arbitrary hierarchy of scales in a single calculation. The software should efficiently model advanced ballistic impacts without using a very highly refined mesh and be able to operate on Microsoft Windows 7 and 8 operating systems. The finite element software tool should be capable of the following: - Providing Finite Element Analysis to the microstructural level. - Automatically generate microstructures - textiles, continuous and chopped fiber, particulate, and voids. - Automatically crack 2D and 3D algorithms. - Quick and accurate prediction of material behavior and failure. - Allow users to simulate both part-level and microstructural level simultaneously with two-way coupling. - Integration with major CAE platforms: Abaqus, Ansys and Altair's Hyperworks (LS-Dyna plugin under development) Interested sources are encouraged to submit information on their capabilities no later than March 28, 2016 by 4:30pm Eastern Standard time. Submittals and questions should be directed to the following point of contact: US Army Contracting Command, Attn. William Tenz, ACC-NJ-JA, Bldg. 9, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000, email: william.d.tenz.civ@mail.mil.
