Why Simulayt Composite Modeler ?

Fiber and Composite Modeler

Simulayt develops and licenses the Layup Technology, which incorporates advanced fiber simulation and ply modeling capabilities. This technology allows the efficient and integrated design, analysis and manufacture of fiber reinforced products. By simulating manufacturing processes and linking this data to analysis and design models, the engineer can develop better products with greater robustness at lower cost.

The Layup Technology was first developed in 1991, initially driven by the aerospace composites industry. With the continuous expansion of composite materials, the Layup Technology is now used extensively in the automotive, marine, energy, leisure and other industries utilising fiber reinforcement.

Capabilities

State-of-the-art fiber simulation, proven since 1992 Efficient ply-based layup modeling to reflect manufacture and allow rapid modification Fiber simulation predicts manufacturing problems on complex, non-developable surfaces Virtual templating - accurate ply flat patterns determined by direct simulation on the 3D CAD model Automatically transfers ply model to analysis for detailed calculations

Benefits

Defines unambiguous ply model Prevents specification of plies and structures that cannot be manufactured, avoiding costly mistakes Massively reduces time to generate flat pattern templates Allows seamless design and analysis integration to promote development efficiency
