- Facilitates the authoring of composite design data to create a complete 3D product definition
- Maintains the link between associative 3D CAD geometry and composite specifications, requirements, and intent
- Provides tools for automating repetitive design tasks, such as applying material requirements and creating ply geometry, which helps to manage design changes during iterative feedback loops with analysis and manufacturing
- Includes tools for effective visualization of the parts to improve understanding between design and manufacturing
- Generates task-specific output, such as design documentation, model-based definition formats, and enterprise reports
- Enables easier composite product optimization by enabling bidirectional communication between disciplines
- Greatly shortens the time needed to set up models of your composite parts
- Helps define fiber orientations that provide the optimal structural performance while complying with material and manufacturing limitations
- Facilitates communication between designers, analysts, and manufacturing, including achievable fiber orientations based on the material and process
- Facilitates creation, management, and communication of the manufacturing definition by consuming the design data and generating an associative manufacturing model
- Provides tools that automate design for manufacturing, such as splicing, darting, and ply-edge adjustments for automated deposition based on simulation of the manufacturing process, machine characteristics, and materials
- Ensures quality composite products by automating the creation of documentation and manufacturing data for nesting, cutting, laser projection, tape laying, fiber placement, and inspection
- Communicates the effects of design changes to the manufacturing definition, automatically updating all manufacturing data
Fibersim integrates seamlessly with Simcenter and other CAE systems, enabling continuous, bidirectional updates between designers and analysts while possible manufacturing constraints are considered. It supports many different laminate composite manufacturing processes and operations that help to ensure that designs are fully manufacturable and as-built structures meet design requirements. Fibersim is available for several high-end CAD systems, including Siemens NX, Dassault Systèmes Catia V5, and PTC Creo. No matter the CAD system, Fibersim can also save detailed laminate structures in Siemens Teamcenter PLM so that information can be easily stored, searched, retrieved, and shared.
