This post was completely updated in March, 2021 using R2021x FD05

This example was created about 10 years using Isight running an Abaqus FE model. A description of the example problem can be found here:

Isight Calibration of a Bonded Rubber Puck   (just background material, use of Isight)

Compared to using Isight, the 3DX Material Calibration app is a greatly simplified way of performing an FE-based calibration. This rubber puck example is very well suited to this calibration process because the 96 element CAX4R mesh/model runs in only 4 seconds (using 1 cpu).  One does need to be careful and NOT throw more cpu's at this problem, because the performance will degrade. This post archives all the files that one needs to perform this calibration. One should be able to follow along with this video and use the attached files to re-create this example, to use this example as a learning experience.
