The material collection provided by Z-mat is one of the richest on the market. The various formulations allow the user to work with constitutive equations specifically developed for a large number of material classes and validated for automotive, aerospace, geology or medical applications.
A unique feature of Z-mat, linked to the modular C++ structure of the library, is the fact that new models can be built by users by combining elementary models, in order to tailor their own material model.
