Composites Modeler for SolidWorks®
Composites Modeler for SolidWorks® provides advanced ply-based model building and proven fiber simulation capabilities - all seamlessly integrated within SolidWorks®. Furthermore, compatibility with Simulayt’s Layup Pipeline allows direct linkage with detailed ply-based analysis models.
Capabilities
- State-of-the-art fiber simulation, proven since 1992.
- Efficient ply-based layup modeling to reflect manufacture and allow rapid modification.
- Fiber simulation predicts manufacturing problems on complex, non-developable surfaces.
- Virtual templating - accurate ply flat patterns determined by direct simulation on the 3D CAD model.
- Automatically transfers ply model to analysis for detailed calculations.
Benefits
- Defines unambiguous ply model.
- Prevents specification of plies and structures that cannot be manufactured, avoiding costly mistakes.
- Massively reduces time to generate flat pattern templates.
- Allows seamless design and analysis integration to promote development efficiency.
