Online

1. Set up macroscopic model

  
 

   Geometry, boundary conditions

 

Initialize RVEs

 

   FE discretization

 

Load subspace

 

   Set RVEs for each material

  
 

2. Run simulation

  
 

   Loop time or load step

  
 

      Apply load increment

  
 

   Loop Newton iteration

  
 

   Loop elements

  
 

   Loop material points

  
 

      Calculate \({\mathbf F}_M\)

  
 

      Load history variables

  
  

\(\Rightarrow \)

Calculate boundary conditions for RVE

   

Solve RVE with POD reduction

   

If convergence is reached:

   

   Calculate \({\mathbf P}_M\)

   

   Calculate \({\mathbf C}_M\)

   

    Save local history variables globally

 

      Store \({\mathbf P}_M\), \({\mathbf C}_M\) and history

\(\Leftarrow \)

 
 

   End (material points)

  
 

   End (elements)

  
 

      Global assembling

  
 

      Check convergence

  
 

      If converged: BREAK

  
 

   End (Newton iteration)

  
 

   Update displacements

  
 

   End (time/load step)
