Sure these big wigs like Chomarat and so on have some simulation software to test their product?
Anyone know if there is a data-table for inputing for various types of composites? i.e CSM 600gram, CSM 450gram, CSM 300 gram of Fibreglass, carbon, kevlar…
Then the miltilayer mats and so on. And these can be inputed?
Nothing? Then how do you know what to lay up?
Are you in Florianópolis
You are talking about strength, are you?
There are several tools, like “Laminator”, but there are more. I believe SOlidworks and / or Catia also have a module.
It takes a while to get decent results from these tools. Start simple, with a simple beam. You can produce the beam, and see if your results are right.
Another tool was provided by Alcan, but they do not publish it anymore. However, I still have it on my computer. (Along with other files, of which as well a LRTM tool building course.)
Try VectorLam for a free composites tool if you have simple geometry. There are a lot of FEA packages that allow composite laminates to be created and analyzed…Ansys, Nastran, Hyperworks, Strand 7 come to mind. Both Creo (Pro-E) and SolidWorks have simulation packages that do composite FEA.
