The Nonwovens Institute (NWI) is pleased to recognize Math2Market GmbH for its decision to join more than 45 industry-leading organizations as a member of the Institute.
Math2Market develops and sells GeoDict, a leading simulation software worldwide, which digitizes the complete development of new nonwoven and other materials. In addition to selling the GeoDict software, Math2Market offers customer- and application-specific software adaptations, project work, personalized reliable scientific support, expert training, workshops and an annual GeoDict Innovation Conference.
Today, Math2Market has a workforce of nearly 70 employees at its Kaiserslautern, Germany, location and an international network of distribution partners in Asia and the Americas.
Over 200 large companies from various nonwovens-relevant industry sectors (automotive, aerospace, food and beverage, personal care, biomedical, bioengineering, etc.) and renowned universities and research institutions worldwide simulate with GeoDict. Math2Market advises and supports customers in all material research and development needs to fulfill their goals of reducing physical prototyping and R&D costs, accelerating the design of nonwoven media, shortening time-to-market, quickly responding to end-user requirements, driving scientific innovation, and, ultimately, gaining a competitive advantage.
“The NWI is a globally recognized leader in nonwovens research and innovation, providing an interdisciplinary environment that fosters collaboration between industry and academia,” said Dr.-Ing. Oliver Rimmel, business manager digital material R&D, Math2Market. “By becoming a member, we hope to gain access to a network of researchers and other industry experts and innovators, ensuring that our simulation software GeoDict maintains the highest standards of accuracy and relevance in the nonwovens area.”
GeoDict is designed to model the geometry, analyze the properties of nonwovens, and predict their material behavior under varying conditions, directly in the computer. Modeling starts with the processing of 3D µCT scans of real nonwovens, or with purely statistically generated models. Then, the microstructure of nonwovens is exhaustively analyzed, their properties are calculated and predicted under varying conditions, and digital prototypes are created to optimize novel nonwovens in a loop. Simulations match physical experiments and their analysis with this fast, efficient and easy-to-use software solution. With GeoDict, nonwovens are developed and non-destructively tested on the computer before any laboratory testing takes place.
GeoDict helps engineers in answering complex nonwoven engineering questions and in optimizing the performance of nonwovens for various applications by modifying their design interactively on the computer.
The GeoDict software performs:
- Analysis directly on µCT scans of the nonwoven.
- Complete analysis of the fiber parameters after the identification of each individual fiber in the nonwoven through artificial intelligence (AI).
- Exhaustive analysis of the pore space.
- Generation of three-dimensional models of the nonwoven, through input of important features such as fiber cross-section, layer structure, bonding points, etc.
- Determination and prediction of properties of the nonwoven, such as behavior under mechanical load, permeability, tensile and flexural stiffness, and thermal conductivity.
