In the virtual design development and performance assessment of polymer and polymer composite components the materials complexity necessitate sophisticated approaches and methods. Besides some general methods some solutions need to be specifically developed for defined applications. In most cases the resulting methods are routines based on algorithms developed within the group used in interaction with a finite element solver. Challenges which are worked on are for example
