Open-source software that models soft materials expands engineering solutions

The article from MSN discusses a new open-source software tool developed by researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, which focuses on modeling soft materials. This software, named "Soft Matter," allows engineers to simulate and analyze the behavior of materials like gels, elastomers, and biological tissues, which are crucial in fields ranging from biomedical engineering to consumer products. By making the software open-source, the developers aim to foster innovation and collaboration across the global engineering community, enabling more accurate predictions of how these materials will perform under various conditions. This tool is expected to expand the capabilities of engineers to design and optimize products that incorporate soft materials, potentially leading to advancements in medical devices, wearable technology, and more.
