This program predicts the thermoelastic properties ( Youngs moduli, Shear moduli, Poissons ratio and coefficients of thermal expansion) for a variety of polymeric composite materials. Input consists of the following microstrutural features:
- Composition.
- Thermoelastic properties of the constituents.
- Aspect ratio of the reinforcing agent.
- Degree of orientation of the reinforcing agent.

A data base of thermoelastic properties for common fibers and resins is included. Additional materials can be added by the user.

Thermoelastic properties are predicted for the following types of composites:
- Continuous fiber lamina
- Chopped fiber sheet molding materials.
- Extrusion
- Short-fiber bulk molding materials
- Particulate reinforced composites
- Platelet reinforced composites
-Three component resin/fiber/filler composites

The predicted properties can be displayed in tabular or graphical forms.
This work was conducted in a joint effort between the University of Delaware and Michigan State University under the aegis of the National Science Foundation project Manufacturing Education and Training Program in Composite Materials for the DoD and Durable Goods Industries under the DARPA Supplementary Education Awards.
