The present invention is in the field of methods for determining material properties from foam samples. It relates to a computer-implemented method for determining a material property of a foam sample comprising (a) providing a representation of the sample, (b) extracting at least one structural feature from the representation, wherein the at least one structural feature comprises walls, struts, or nodes (c) providing the at least one structural feature to a material model suitable for obtaining at least one material property from the structural feature, and (d) outputting the at least one material property received from the material model.
