PAM-Composites Webinar 2018.5: Topic: What's new? During this webinar, all majors new capabilities of PAM-COMPOSITES 2018.5 version for Draping, Thermoforming, RTM, Infusion and Curing of composite structural components will be presented  through a live demonstration.  Highlights of the web...

Electrical vehicle Gearbox demonstrator development

While a traditional Electric Vehicle Gearbox is often a conventional electric transmission housing made of aluminium - key benefits can come of using composites. Virtual Manufacturing allows to substitute aluminium by a housing made from fibre reinforced thermoplastics. The design consists on an...

Distortion Control of Car Body Manufacturing using Virtual Welding & Assembly

While the use lightweight materials has many advantages it also possesses more springback and less formability. This challenges the overall time and cost of design and development of car body assemblies. This webinar will highlight the prediction and control of distortions in car body assemblies...

Composites infusion simulation accounting for mechanical deformation

Mechanical deformation of the preform might occur during resin injection, in processes such as Vacuum Assisted Resin Infusion (VARI), Compression-RTM (C-RTM), High Pressure RTM (HP-RTM) …. This deformation created by the resin pressure, locally modifies the properties of the preform (fiber content,...
