Fiber orientation analysis (Quick Reference)

Use these dialogs to specify settings for a Fiber orientation analysis.

Note: The parameters available to edit will depend on the molding process and mesh type selected.

Topics in this section

Fiber Orientation Solver Parameters dialog
Composite Property Calculation Options dialog
This dialog is used to edit options relating to the prediction of the mechanical properties of the composite, that is, fibers plus polymer matrix.
Fiber Interaction Calculation Parameters dialog
This dialog is used to enter specific values for the Coefficient of interaction (Ci) and Thickness moment of interaction coefficient (Dz) settings that will be used in the calculation of fiber interactions.
Fiber Orientation Model Parameters dialog
This dialog is used to enter specific values for the Coefficient of interaction (Ci) and Reduced Strain Closure factor settings that will be used in the calculation of fiber orientation.
User-supplied inlet orientation dialog
This dialog is used to specify values for the in-plane fiber orientation components in the flow direction and cross-flow direction vs. normalized thickness, which define the initial fiber orientation profile at the inlet to the cavity.
Fiber breakage parameters dialog
This dialog is used to edit options relating to the prediction of fiber breakage.
