Streamline and optimize design for composite materials
Fibersim maximizes the performance potential of your composite materials
Improve composite part performance and efficiency
-
01
Integrate design
Fibersim is embedded within leading CAD systems, allowing engineers to create designs for composite parts directly within their familiar CAD environment. Define the orientation, material type and thickness of composite layers directly on the CAD model.
-
02
Simulate the manufacturing processes
Simulate the paths that automated layup machines will follow to place composite tapes or fibers. Also, simulate the draping of composite materials over complex shapes.
-
03
Optimize manufacturing processes
Generate flat patterns from 3D models, which are essential for cutting the raw composite materials before they are formed into their final shape. Access tooling design support for designing molds required for composite part manufacturing.
-
04
Create documentation and ply books
Automatically generate documentation needed for the manufacturing process, including ply books that detail each step of the layup process. Visualization tools help manufacturing personnel see the orientation and order of composite layers.
-
05
Ensure quality
Verify that every manufactured part adheres to design specifications. These tools help in comparing the as-designed to as-built conditions, ensuring that the final product maintains high quality and performance standards.
-
06
Collaborate and manage data
Integrate with PLM systems like Teamcenter to manage data and collaborate across the product lifecycle. Track design changes, manufacturing adjustments and overall project management with ease.
