What is COMET for?

Mechanical Analysis

• • Quasi-Static problems
  • Dynamic problems
  • Linear and Nonlinear solvers
  • Small and large strain kinematics

Contact Analysis

• • mechanical contact: Hard-contact (condensed Lagrangian multiplers) and Soft Contact (by penalization)
  • Frictionless and frictional contact (Coulomb's law)
  • Thermal contact: heat conduction, heat convection and heat radiation laws

Thermal Analysis

• • Steady-state and Transient problems
  • Phase-change analysis
  • Temperature-dependent material data-base

Coupled Thermo-Mechanical Analysis

• • Based on staggered algorithm (fractional multi-step solution)
