Schematic representation of solids in nanoindentation model

Example of workflow for surrogate in FEA

tually test this material. Then, an objective function is built to compare the loading and unloading performan- ce by the indenter. The agreement between curves is computed, e.g., using the -quality parameter. Finally, the surrogate algorithm builds the metamodel to find the best elastic constants that make -value as close to uni- ty as possible.

The recent increase in computational power among industrial organizations as well as academic instituti- ons opens the use of surrogate algorithms in novel Digi- tal Twinning of structures. The use of such Artificial Intelligence systems helps engineers in design with new high-performance materials.
