Relation between Bulk Modulus K, Shear Modulus G, Young's Modulus E and Poisson's ratio ν

This tip explains the relations between the parameters that describe the linear elastic behavior of materials

How to convert force-deflection into true stress-strain curves?

This tip helps to convert typical tensile test data into stress-strain curves to be used in many material models of Virtual Performance Solution (VPS)

Internal injection lines modeling

Internal injection lines on a shell model (i.e. made of internal element edges) are not supported by the parallel solver.

Direct Opening of a mesh

The creation of a RTM project and loading of the model mesh is usually done in 2 steps.

Fiber volume content contour

Two dedicated composites contours are available in PAM-FORM 2G post-processing: Shear angle and fiber directions.

Coupling between PAM-FORM and PAM-RTM: multiple part mapping

Coupling between PAM-FORM 2G and PAM-RTM is done through a .DSY file. Thus, pre-forming process is simulated with PAM-FORM 2G and resulting fiber orientations that will affect permeabilities are transferred to PAM-RTM model setup.
