Modern 'smart' materials have complex heterogeneous microscale structure, often with unknown macroscale closure but one we need to realise for large scale engineering and science. The multiscale Equation-Free Patch Scheme empowers us to non-intrusively, efficiently, and accurately predict the large scale, system level, solutions through computations on only small sparse patches of the given detailed microscale system. Here the microscale system is that of a 2D beam of heterogeneous elasticity, with either fixed fixed, fixed-free, or periodic boundary conditions. We demonstrate that the described multiscale Patch Scheme simply, efficiently, and stably predicts the beam's macroscale, with a controllable accuracy, at finite scale separation. Dynamical systems theory supports the scheme. This article points the way for others to use this systematic non-intrusive approach, via a developing toolbox of functions, to model and compute accurately macroscale system-levels of general complex physical and engineering systems.
