A Better Alternative to RVE Analysis
RVE analysis is popular for computational homogenization. It can be used independently for virtual testing or as a module for multiscale modeling. Its popularity is mainly due to the maturity and acceptance of commercial finite element software. RVE analysis usually requires a 3D domain to obtain 3D properties and local fields. If a 2D RVE is used, only 2D properties and local fields are obtained. To obtain the complete set of properties, multiple analysis is needed. For example, to obtain the complete stiffness matrix, six 3D RVE analyses are needed.

Complex geometrical shape design with TURBOdesign Shaper
Traditionally, the design and optimization of complex shapes have been computationally expensive and improvements gained via trial and error, which is also expensive and less efficient. TURBOdesign Shaper is a software product of Advanced Design Technology that targets to ease the design of complex geometrical shapes. It is a solution for sensitivity analysis and optimization with computational cost being independent of the complexity.
