DiMAT

Digital Modelling and Simulation for Design, Processing and Manufacturing of Advanced Materials

DiMAT will develop Open Digital Tools with a set of advanced technologies for offering European SMEs and Mid-Caps an affordable (in terms of cost, implementation and usability) full modelling, simulation and optimisation system in each stage of the material value chain (design, processing and manufacturing) for improving quality, sustainability, effectiveness, and competitiveness of materials.

DiMAT will deploy 3 integrated Suites:

1. DiMAT Data and Assessment Suite,
2. DiMAT Modelling and Design Suite,
3. DiMAT Simulation and Optimisation Suite.

The DiMAT Suites will be demonstrated in 4 Pilots representative of a variety of European materials industry sectors: textile, composite, glass and graphite.

DRAXIS will perform impact assessment of the material value chains in the pilot sites in terms of environmental and cost performance. The results will feed into the DiMAT Materials Environmental and Cost Life Cycle Assessment (MEC-LCA) tool which will provide high-level estimations on the environmental and economic impact of the pilot use cases through the graphical representation of results. At the same time, DRAXIS is responsible for the specifications driving the development of the DiMAT Toolkits, together with the definition of the most suitable Key Performance Indicators for the project use case scenarios.
