Abstract Scope |
The Library of Advanced Materials for Engineering (LAMÉ) has been developed and utilized for over 20 years. LAMÉ is a constitutive model library that provides a range of mechanical material responses for Sierra/SM, a solid mechanics finite element code developed and used at Sandia. LAMÉ has a large variety of material models and is used for both research and engineering analysis. The library consists not only of code but also contains extensive testing and documentation to support credible solid mechanics analysis. Code development processes for LAMÉ will be presented including code writing standards, unit testing, verification testing, documentation, and model management. These processes provide direct benefit to constitutive modelers, application code developers, analysts, and ultimately decision makers in high-consequence design environments. Importantly, unique attributes particular to constitutive and material modeling will be presented. Lessons learned in LAMÉ will be applied to future directions in computational material modeling. |
