Fiber length averaged by number result

The Fiber length averaged by number result is generated by a Fill or Fill+Pack analysis, when the option to perform Fiber orientation analysis if fiber material is enabled, the option to Calculate fiber breakage is enabled, and the selected molding material is a long-fiber composite material.

It shows the length of fibers after breakage has occurred during the injection molding process, averaged by the number of fibers.

Using this result

The Fiber length averaged by number result is output as a time series result, so that you can see the change in fiber length throughout the injection molding process. This result is not displayed by default.

To add the Fiber length averaged by number result to the display, click Results tab > New Plot > Plots, then on the Result Selection tab, select Fiber length averaged by number from the list of available results, and select a plot type to display. Animation plot is the default plot type selection.
