Simulayt announces Composites Modeler for SolidWorks®
Simulayt Limited today announced its new product, Composites Modeler for SolidWorks®, a tool allowing efficient composites design within the SolidWorks® environment. The new product provides proven fiber simulation capabilities, advanced ply-based model building and direct generation of analysis and manufacturing information. Composites Modeler brings the capability to develop high performance composite structures to the dynamic SolidWorks® community.
Ian Cowley, Technical Consultant at Simulayt, commented: “SolidWorks® users can now run proven fiber simulations to predict manufacturing problems and provide accurate flat pattern templates. The unambiguous ply based composites model and direct links to analysis provide essential tools for developing composites structures efficiently. Customers familiar with legacy solutions in other environments are astonished by the capability, accessibility and value of Composites Modeler for SolidWorks®.”
Composites Modeler integrates seamlessly into the SolidWorks® environment and allows engineers to predict the manufacturing process to ensure that the designed model is manufacturable. Continuously-varying material angles reflecting the actual as-laid fiber orientations can be transferred automatically to finite element analysis for verification. Finally, manufacturing data is generated automatically to ensure that the design is realized accurately.
