It is important that the calibration process of input material properties and FE-simulation techniques can be widely utilized and reused when the materials are changed. One way to address this goal is to develop easy-to-use and shareable computer applications. Two applications namely BTHPeel and J2-Iso for computers was developed in MATLAB environments so far. These simple to handle applications take a handful of FE-model information related to physical tests to start with. When executed, the applications could communicate with ABAQUS to create new FE-simulation models, solve the models in ABAQUS, read the desired outputs, analyze the outputs to find objective quantities and use those data in optimization algorithms like artificial neural networks and genetic algorithm. Finally, they will present the desired optimized and calibrated FE-model data without ever leaving the application window.
