Researchers in sum of two units NIST laboratories have developed a program that will help industry improve material testing. The object-oriented finite proper state program (OOF) lets scientists take an image of a material, automatically find all of its features, and evolve a mathematical model. This mathematical mould predicts how the material will correspond to a variety of stresse and strains.

The program is a computational tool that replaces weeks of laboratory testing. It analyzes and predicts the
