The use of composite materials in the Energy & Utilities industry is growing, especially in the renewable energy sector where market demand and efforts to reduce costs are intense. Global competition and volatility of the energy market leave manufacturers and suppliers grappling with how to decrease engineering cycle times and production costs while increasing performance.

The promise of mass reductions, performance improvements, and cost reductions can all seem enticing, but fiber-reinforced plastic products require rapid changes in the way analysis, design, and manufacturing are traditionally performed. Despite the increase in the use of composite materials today, effectively designing, analyzing, and manufacturing composite products that satisfy customers’ needs remains a challenge.
