- © 2020Property contribution tensors constitute basic building blocks for evaluation of effective properties of heterogeneous materials. Most of the existing results, however, are obtained for inhomogeneities of simple shapes, like ellipsoidal. With this paper we introduce open access software that allows one to calculate the components of compliance and stiffness contribution tensors of inhomogeneities of any shape. The software uses mesh free method based on a class of Gaussian approximating functions. Here we present details of the method and illustrate it by several examples. The software can be downloaded from the website of NMSU Center for Micromechanics https://centerformichromechanics.nmsu.edu.
