PAM-COMPOSITES 2016.0: What's new for Draping and Thermoforming?

PAM-COMPOSITES covers a wide range of processes for the manufacturing of composites structural components. One of its application is for the Draping of dry textiles or the thermoforming of prepreg material (thermoset or organo-sheets). In July 2016, ESI released PAM-COMPOSITES 2016.0 version with sp...

Thermoforming simulation for organo-sheet composites parts

Because of their high recyclability and high-impact resistance, the trend has become to use thermoplastic composite materials in the Automotive and Aerospace industry. However, the adoption of these materials depends on our capacity to simulate their behavior, starting with their manufacturing and e...

PAM-COMPOSITES 2016.0: What’s new for Curing and Distortion simulation?

PAM-COMPOSITES covers a wide range of processes for the manufacturing of composites structural components. One of its application is for Curing of thermoset composite part and computation of residual stresses and geometrical distortions induced by the manufacturing process. In July 2016, ESI release...

PAM-COMPOSITES 2016.0: What’s new for Liquid Composite Molding Simulation?

PAM-COMPOSITES covers a wide range of processes for the manufacturing of composites structural components. One of its application is for Liquid Composite Molding (LCM) such as RTM, VARI, HP-RTM... In July 2016, ESI released PAM-COMPOSITES 2016.0 version with specific developments and enhancements fo...

Design Of Experiments (DoE) for composites manufacturing processes

Variability in the properties of the composite materials and in the parameters of the manufacturing processes always exists on the floor shop. To account for this variability and to quickly analyze different configuration, ESI introduced a new Design Of Experiments (DOE) functionality. It  makes...

Manufacturing of a composites fuselage panel: the added-value of simulation

This webinar covers each step of the manufacturing process, from pre-heating of the preform to the infusion, curing and unmolding of the part resulting in geometrical distortions. You will see through a live demo of the complete manufacturing chain, what it takes to make such FEA analysis in terms o...

Control geometrical deformations of manufactured composites parts

Residual stresses induced during curing will result in geometrical distortions of the composites part. This webinar explains how PAM-COMPOSITES simulation can predict these deformations upfront in the development process and how these distortions can be corrected before cutting any tool.

ESI PAM-COMPOSITES: What is it?

PAM-COMPOSITES is a unique End-to-End Finite Element (FE) simulation chain for the analysis, validation and optimization of the manufacturing process of composites structural parts. This solution addresses a wide range of composites materials with a focus on continuous fibers. It can model carbon...
