Composites Modeler for Abaqus/CAE
Composites Modeler for Abaqus/CAE complements and extends the powerful new ply modeling features introduced in Abaqus/CAE 6.7 by providing proven fiber simulation capabilities and advanced model building - all seamlessly integrated within Abaqus/CAE. Furthermore, direct integration with Simulayt’s Layup Pipeline allows direct linkage with Design and Manufacture functions across the enterprise.
Capabilities
- State-of-the-art fiber simulation, proven since 1992.
- Directly transfers accurate fiber angles and ply thicknesses to Abaqus simulations for unprecedented accuracy.
- Allows rapid review and modification of the composites model for rapid design improvement
- Generates manufacturing data to ensure that the analysed model matches the final structure.
- Direct integration with the Layup Pipeline for seamless communication across the enterprise.
Benefits
- Prevents specification of plies and structures that cannot be manufactured, avoiding costly mistakes.
- Improves model fidelity and reduces setup time to allow rapid design improvement.
- Allows seamless analysis, design and manufacture integration across the enterprise to promote development efficiency.
