Ansys Mechanical Short Fiber Composites

Course Overview

Short Fiber Composites training is geared towards engineers who are designing and analyzing part made of short fiber reinforced plastics manufactured through injection molding. The training will cover determination and calibration of the material model, the correct import and mapping the local fiber orientations resulting from a simulation of an injection processes, along with other relevant quantities such as local fiber volume fraction and injection residual stresses.

The real-world problems presented in these tutorials showcase the power of Ansys workflow for the structural simulation of Short Fiber Composites. This workflow combines Material Designer for the material characterization, the Injection Molding Data system in Workbench that imports injection molding simulation results, and Mechanical for the setup up of the finite element model.

This training will teach attendees how to make high fidelity models of short fiber composites, saving time at the material modeling and model creation stages, and more.

Prerequisites

Teaching Method
