Products

We develop software products to enable the virtual design of manufacturing processes and components with fiber-reinforced composites, plastics, and hybrids. Through our collaboration with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), we are able to supply modeling approaches beyond the state-of-the-art.

SimuDrape

SimuDrape is an add-on for Abaqus/CAE and Abaqus/Explicit for composites forming simulation and enables a fully automatized model setup for stamp and membrane forming processes. This includes advanced material modeling for engineering fabrics, tape laminates, prepreg materials, and chopped fiber materials.

SimuChain

SimuChain is an add-on for Abaqus/CAE for creating a virtual process chain, which enables the transfer of manufacturing effects predicted by process simulation into downstream FEA, such as warpage or structural simulation.

SimuFill

SimuFill is an add-on for Abaqus and Moldflow to capture the specificities of compression molding simulation with SMC, LFT, and GMT materials. This includes a data transfer from material forming with SimuDrape to material flow simulation in Moldflow. Moreover, modeling the crystallization and curing kinetics as well as pvT coupled with kinetics is enabled.?

SimuWarp

SimuWarp is an add-on for Abaqus/CAE and Abaqus/Explicit for warpage analysis of thermoplastic (LFT, GMT, tape laminates) and thermoset (SMC, RTM, prepregs) materials. This includes the prediction of crystallization and curing kinetics, shrinkage, thermal strains, and residual stress, including stress relaxation.?
