Postprocessing Software for Micromechanics Analysis Code

The Micromechanics Analysis Code Post-Processing (MACPOST) computer program is designed primarily to serve as an improved means of processing the output of the Micromechanics Analysis Code With Generalized Method of Cells (MAC/GMC) computer program. [MAC/GMC was described in "Comprehensive Micromechanics-Analysis Code (MAC/GMC)" (LEW-16870) NASA Tech Briefs, Vol. 24, No. 6 (June 2000), page 38. To recapitulate MAC/GMC is a comprehensive, user-friendly, efficient program that predicts the elastic and inelastic thermomechanical responses of continuous and discontinuous composite-material structures that have arbitrary internal microstructures and reinforcement shapes and are subjected to complex thermomechanical load histories.]
