ESAComp 4.5.2 x86 + ComPoLyX 1.2 x64

ESAComp is software for analysis and design of composites. Its scope ranges from conceptual and preliminary design of layered composite structures to analyses of details. ESAComp is a stand-alone software tool, but thanks to its ability to interface with widely used finite element software packages, ESAComp fits seamlessly into the design process.
The comprehensive material database of ESAComp forms the basis for design studies. ESAComp has a vast set of analysis capabilities for solid/sandwich laminates and for micromechanical analyses. It further includes analysis tools for structural elements: flat and curved panels, stiffened panels, beams and columns, bonded and mechanical joints.

ESAComp allows you to:
- Explore possibilities. The possibilities for combining composite material systems and structural concepts are limitless. The ESAComp Data Bank gives a good basis for trying potential materials for a design. The analysis capabilities of ESAComp allow performing trade-off studies, for instance, between the use of solid laminates, sandwich panels or stiffened panels.
- Be efficient. Use the right tool for the different phases of the project. The FE environment is not ideal for laminate level studies or lay-up design. In the early phases of a project (e.g. order acquisition or concept design), the structural elements of ESAComp allow fast analysis without a full geometric model.
- Avoid pitfalls. Designing with composites is a challenge. For instance, a potential failure mode can be missed easily without a careful assessment of the structure. ESAComp complements the capabilities of FE tools in doing this. Advanced ESAComp capabilities like the probabilistic analysis may come handy in verifying the real performance of the design.
- Optimize your design. Besides the user environment that allows practical hands-on optimization of designs, ESAComp integrates as part of more complex optimization systems involving optimization and FE software.
- Learn about composites. ESAComp with its documentation helps structural engineers with limited composites experience to get familiar with the topic. At the same time, ESAComp goes in-depth in a way that allows even composites experts to learn new.

Here are some Key features of "ESAComp":
- Graphical user interface. All functions are accessible through a unified user interface which guarantees an efficient workflow.
- ESAComp objects, multi-level database and Data Bank. Work with ESAComp is based on objects: fibers/matrix materials, plies, laminates, plates, beams, bonded or mechanical joints, and loads. The database is divided into three levels: the user and company levels, and the ESAComp Data Bank. This includes data for commonly-used composite materials and material systems.
- Analysis tools for plies, laminates and structural elements.
- Multiple analyses and graphic display of results. The user has almost limitless options for selecting and combining the resulting data. For example, several objects, laminate orientations or failure criteria can be selected for analysis. The results can be displayed as numeric tables, layer, bar, line, and polar charts, carpet plots, failure envelopes, and 3D contour plots.
- FE export/import interfaces. Laminate lay-ups specified in ESAComp can be easily exported to FE software, along with the related material properties. After the FE analysis, the results can be imported back into ESAComp for detailed post processing.
- SI and Imperial (British/U.S.) units. Units and output formats can be changed at any time during the session.
- User extensions. User modules, such as new failure criteria and micromechanics models, can be integrated in the system. ESAComp analyses can be incorporated into other applications by running ESAComp in batch mode.
- Comprehensive documentation. ESAComp provides on-line help for user guidance and extensive theoretical background documents for reference.
