Metal matrix composite analyzer (METCAN) user's manual, version 4.0The Metal Matrix Composite Analyzer (METCAN) is a computer code developed at Lewis Research Center to simulate the high temperature nonlinear behavior of metal matrix composites. An updated version of the METCAN User's Manual is presented. The manual provides the user with a step by step outline of the procedure necessary to run METCAN. The preparation of the input file is demonstrated, and the output files are explained. The sample problems are presented to highlight various features of METCAN. An overview of the geometric conventions, micromechanical unit cell, and the nonlinear constitutive relationships is also provided.
