Fiber

Moldex3D/Shell-Fiber helps users to analyze the fiber orientation and the resultant thermo-mechanical property distribution for fiber-reinforced plastic part.

With Moldex3D/Shell-Fiber, users can understand the orientation of fiber and further control the anisotropic shrinkage of fiber-reinforced part. Based on midplane technology, it predicts fiber orientation across thickness. The process-induced anisotropic shrinkage and mechanical properties due to fiber orientation are then taken into account for accurate warpage prediction.
