DIGIMAT to Moldflow interfaces handle the effect of the fiber orientation predicted by Moldflow Mid-Plane or 3D models on the structural FEA response where DIGIMAT is used as the material model.
DIGIMAT to Moldflow Mid-Plane and Moldflow 3D interfaces are used to import local fiber orientation, residual stresses and temperatures into DIGIMAT-MF for an accurate and efficient prediction of the anisotropic, linear, non-linear and rate-dependent reinforced plastic response, as a function of:
1. the plastic and fiber properties;
2. the fiber content and aspect ratio;
3. the local fiber orientation.
DIGIMAT to Moldflow Mid-Plane allows the user to import in DIGIMAT to CAE the fiber orientation data predicted by Moldflow Mid-Plane for DIGIMAT-based multi-scale FEA. In addition to this, initial stresses and/or temperature can also be imported in the DIGIMAT-based multi-scale FEA.
DIGIMAT to Moldflow 3D allows the user to import in DIGIMAT to CAE the fiber orientation data predicted by Moldflow 3D, for DIGIMAT-based multi-scale FEA. In addition to this, initial stresses and/or temperature can also be imported inthe DIGIMAT-base multi-scale FEA.
