The design cycle of consumer products like mobile phones, flat screen TVs, etc. is extremely short and relies heavily on advanced material performance to achieve smaller and thinner products with nice esthetic and mechanical properties.
An efficient design process will thus rely on a predictive set of numerical simulation tool in which DIGIMAT plays a major role.
DIGIMAT to CAE software are used by the industry to bridge the gap between injection molding simulation and structural FEA of glass fiber reinforced plastics.
In this case, DIGIMAT-MF is strongly coupled to implicit and explicit FEA Software like Abaqus, ANSYS, LS-DYNA where it is used to model the local nonlinear and rate dependent behavior of the reinforced polymer taking into account the fiber orientation predicted by injection molding software like Moldflow, Sigmasoft and Moldex3D.
