NX Fibersim and Simcenter 3D Laminate Composites Webinar

See how the seamless data sharing between NX Fibersim design and manufacturing software and Simcenter 3D Laminate Composites structural analysis software can reduce discrepancies between the analytical model and as-manufactured parts.
As laminate composites have become widely used in industry, understanding and accurately predicting the performance of manufactured parts has become increasingly important. Even when a certain layup is specified to meet a project’s requirements, difficulties can arise in both communicating the ply layup from analysis to manufacturing and ensuring that the manufactured ply schedule still meets engineering requirements. These challenges become especially apparent in high-curvature parts that may result in fiber angle distortions due to layup draping.
Integration between NX Fibersim and Simcenter 3D reduces this uncertainty by streamlining the communication from the analyst to your Fibersim specialist. Simcenter 3D can export ply layup data to Fibersim, which can be used to generate the ply layup schedule. Also, Fibersim can export the manufactured ply schedule back to Simcenter 3D so that the analytical model can be updated to match the as-manufactured ply layup, allowing the performance of as-manufactured parts to be predicted before production.
This webinar will demonstrate the bidirectional communication between analysis and manufacturing using Simcenter 3D and NX Fibersim. Plies will be exported from Simcenter 3D to generate a manufacturable ply layup in Fibersim. We will then export the ply layup back to Simcenter 3D, where the layups will be updated for performance verification, showing how the as-manufactured part differs from the analytical part due to ply draping.
