World-class CAE Tools to Predict Composite Behaviour and Minimize Failures
Engineered Composites have been in use for several years. Their popularity has increased given greater awareness of benefits such as low weight, high strength with durability, and heat resistance capabilities that advanced composites offer.
However, composites present certain design challenges especially around areas such as delamination and micro-cracking leading to subsequent failure. MSC Software solutions for composite materials help engineers analyze and design challenging composite models using a set of CAE tools. The solution is suitable for a variety of composites including nanocomposites, advanced composites, sandwich panels, plastics, hard metals, among others.
Features of Composites
Manufacturing
MSC solutions help resolve various manufacturing issues that arise during the design stage, enabling substantial cost reduction.
Stress Analysis
Users can analyze the behavioural components of composites and perform nonlinear and linear analysis for prediction of accuracy in structures.
Failure Analysis
Since composites are heterogeneous in nature, they are prone to performance failure, which can affect overall product performance. Engineers can predict material damage progression using failure criteria such as Maximum Stress, Maximum Strain, Hill, Hoffman, Tsai-Wu, Hashin, Puck, Hashin-Tape or Hashin-Fabric.
The Cohesive Zone Modeling technique helps simulation engineers to analyze weakening and failure of composite plies to bond. Virtual Crack Closure Technique (VCCT) can help engineers predict crack propagation efficiently.
Optimization
MSC Software solutions allow for design of best-in-class products using composites at minimal cost.
Micro and Macro-Scale Analysis
MSC Software solutions Digimat software offer micro- and macro-scale analyses of composites and enable appropriate calculation of thermal, mechanical and electrical properties, especially for FEA analysis.
