CADMOULD 3D-F FIBER is a simulation module for prediction, visualization and optimization of fibre and molecular orientation during filling and holding pressure phase. The engineer can use this module to take orientation dependencies of the mechanical behavior of fibre reinforced materials (anisotropism) for the mechanical layout of the part into account.
Typical users of this module are injection moulding processing companies and mould makers and engineering service providers.
Cadmould 3D-F Fiber is an additional module based on the modules Cadmould 3D-F Fill and Cadmould 3D-F Pack. The results of Cadmould 3D-F Fiber can be transfer to structural analysis software using Cadmould Converse.

Cadmould 3D-F is contained in the software package Cadmould 3D-F Warp Expert.


Properties
Simulation of the fibre orientation across the wall thickness in layers during filling and packing phase
  • Multi layer simulation
  • Consideration of temperature dependencies
  • Consideration of compressibility
 
Advantages
 
  • Basis for an exact prediction of shrinkage and warpage of anisotropic material (e.g. fibre reinforced Material)
  • Basis for the use of orientation prediction for a subsequent structural analysis
