CONCLUSION

Simulation of plastic parts considering material and production specific

boundary conditions

By applying thermal load on glass-fiber reinforced plastics the

deformation of the part depends very much on fiber orientation

To improve the knowledge of the deformation due to thermal load,

anisotropic material behaviour has to be taken into account when

performing a finite element analysis.

Simulation tools e.g. Moldflow and Moldex calculate the orientation of the

short glass-fibers. The transfer of this results to the finite element

analysis (mapping) is enabled by tools e.g. Digimat.

Experience on injection moulding process is very helpful when

developing a helpful approach for a changed injection concept.
