Engineering documentation brings visibility to the composite details during verification, including drop-off profiles, ply sequence order, and ply materials. Fibersim helps automate the creation of cross sections, annotations, and core samples that are updatable as changes occur, ensuring the design is accurately reflected. Fibersim core sampling capabilities provide deeper details, such as ply thickness changes, fiber deviation, balance, and symmetry, which are invaluable in ensuring product quality. Understanding laminate weight and cost is critical to making go/no-go decisions during verification. Fibersim instantly provides the laminate weight and cost, including post cure processes, to provide the most accurate information during review.

Assembly relationships, such as packaging and clash detection, are an important aspect of design verification as well. Fibersim automatically creates surface and solid representations that allow you to detect clash between assembly components and ensure that packaging requirements are met.

Fibersim’s bi-directional Analysis Interface provides an automated exchange of stress requirements into a CAD digital twin.  Even before detailing the part with design rules, preliminary weights and space claim solids can be derived from the zone definition.  Once the final ply boundaries have been defined, the true fiber orientations can be sent back to stress to be re-analyzed with the as-manufactured definition.
