Cadmould ORIENTation Express determines the fibre orientation and transfers it to ABAQUS® or ANSYS®.
Cadmould ORIENTation Express is a Software Bundle consisting of Cadmould CONVERSE and Cadmould fibre orientation simulation.
Properties
Simulation of fibre orientation, filling pattern and weld lines
Transfer of Cadmould results to a structural analysis (volume, surface and midplane models)
Mapping of fibre orientation and degree of orientation to shell and volume models for the simulation in the structural solvers ABAQUS® or ANSYS
3D Visualization of both the Cadmould and the ABAQUS® or ANSYS® model including fibre orientation and degree of fibre orientation for every layer of the Cadmould model
Calculation module for determination of the orthotropic elastic properties of the composite based on fibre / matrix data or CAMPUS® data and the coefficient of thermal expansion
Automatic production of all FE input data necessary
Possibility to take inserts into account
Combination of mutiple injection muolding simulation runs into one ABAQUS® or ANSYS® model (multi component injection moulding)
Advantages
Possibility to simulate fibre orientation in house, no dependencies on internal or external injection moulding simulation services
Significant enhancement of the simulation result quality compared to standard isotropic simulations due to consideration of fibre orientation and degree of fibre orientation
Enhanced predictability of part failure due to the possibility to evaluate all stress components parallel and perpendicular to fibre orientation
Maximum user friendliness (Microsoft® Windows® user interface)
