To simulate and analyze the stress distribution and self-healing potential of a concrete beam embedded with brittle healing capsules (“NeoMatrix” concept) under mechanical loading, enabling visualization of crack-prone zones and validating capsule placement for optimal healing efficiency. Methodology: A 3D model of a concrete beam (100 × 20 × 20 mm) was designed with evenly spaced 5 mm diameter spherical capsules positioned along the central axis. The beam and capsules were assigned accurate material properties: concrete (Young’s Modulus ∼30 GPa, Poisson’s Ratio ∼0.2), ceramic/polymer capsules (∼5–10 GPa, ∼0.3). Boundary conditions included a fixed support at one end of the beam and a static tensile/displacement load at the opposite end to induce stress and simulate crack formation. Automated meshing was refined around the capsules to capture localized stress concentrations. Simulation type: Static structural analysis. Optional: Parametric studies for material/capsule variations.
