This toolbox contains code and test cases from the paper Wu K, Tukovic Z, Cardiff P, Ivankovic (2002) Hierarchical RVE-based multiscale modeling of nonlinear heterogeneous materials using the finite volume method, International Journal for Multiscale Computational Engineering, 10.1615/IntJMultCompEng.2022040214.
This toolbox requires foam-extend-4.1 and solids4foam-v2.0: see https://solids4foam.github.io for solids4foam installation instructions. Once solids4foam-v2.0 is compiled with foam-extend-4.1, the multiscale toolbox can be compiled with the included build script:
> ./Allwmake
The test cases are located in the tutorials directory. To run the single-scale hole-in-a-plate case:
> cd tutorials/singleScale/incr_TL && solids4Foam
To run the single-scale hole-in-a-plate case:
> cd tutorials/multiscale/incr_TL/macro && solid4Foam
