Increased Usage of Composites Means More Users
Which Results in More Software Development Efforts
More customers using software results in more requests for features
and enhancements related to composites
p
Using composites in new applications requires new methods and
technology developed to simulate those applications
Majority of development efforts are in response to and with guidance
from customers
Industry requirements
Bug reports
Enhancement requests
User groups

Increase in Usage of Composites Requires
Development of New Software Technology
Composites are increasingly being used for load-bearing, critical parts
Requires more reliability and capability in the software for simulating
failure modes of composites
Fracture and failure
Delamination
D l i ti
Crashworthiness
Fatigue
11
Growth of Industry Drives Software Development
In Turn, Software Enables Industry Growth
12
Software Usability Enables Greater Number of Users
Expanded access to composites simulation through
CAD interface / environment for composites definition
Direct interfaces between CAD lay-up and FEA lay-ups for simulation
Easier definition of composite layups
Enhanced post
post-processing
processing of composites for easier understanding of
results
13
Greater Confidence in Simulation Enables Increased
use of Composites
p
for Critical Components
p
New, advanced technology provides for greater confidence in results
Ability to simulate the many failure mechanisms of composites allows
composites to be used for critical parts
Testing still necessary for validation, but simulation critical for
designing components

Good Software Capabilities Have Been Created, But
There is Still A Lot of Work to Be Done

Current composites interfaces are not up to the task
It is very time consuming to define composites and post-process
composites in today's CAE tools
Some CAD/CAE/PLM packages do not support progressive failure,
delamination, or material damage
With linear methods, design margins for composite parts today are
often too high the part is too expensive and heavy as a result
p
and blunts the cost
This reduces the value of the use of composites

A Look at Abaqus Developments that Enable
Composite Usage in Industry
SIMULIA technology
gy needs to:
Provide a platform for evolving your composites simulation
methodology to deliver more accurate results to meet regulatory and
competitive demands
Be built in cooperation with and with guidance from customers and
composite industry groups
Builds upon the traditional deep FEA simulation foundation of ABAQUS
Increase your composite simulation efficiency by reducing the time
needed to generate composites models
Be backed by a solid experienced team of application engineers that will
help speed deployment to maximize the value of your investment in
