As-manufactured Structural Simulation of Short Fiber Reinforced Plastic Parts Short fber reinforced plastic materials are commonly used for their strength and weight benefts, as well as their ability to be manufactured quickly. In order to complete an accurate structural simulation of a short fber reinforced plastic part, the as-manufactured material properties need to be accounted for. Without including data such as fber orienta- tions and residual stresses/strains, the structural simulation results will not match the performance of the actual manufactured part. Learn how the as-manufactured material from Autodesk® Simulation Moldfow® can be used with Autodesk® Simulation Composite Analysis to complete an accurate nonlinear structural simulation. PRIMARY TOPICS: > Determining fber orientations with Autodesk Simulation Moldfow > Nonlinear material behavior of as-manufactured materials > Mapping as-manufactured properties for structural simulation > Completing structural simulations of fber reinforced plastic parts Thursday, December 11th 11:00 AM EST Register for this webinar at: www.ptonline.com/webinars Doug Kenik is a Product Line Manager for composite material simulation products within Autodesk. He holds both an MS and BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Wyoming where he spent his graduate career developing high fdelity micromechanics models for composite material simulation. Prior to working at Autodesk, Doug worked at Firehole Composites, where he helped implement new technologies for composite simulation.
