need more than ABAQUS, MSC Marc?
Posting by pete young on April 17, 2008 at 15:44:04.
Hello,I am a mechanical engineer, in charge to select and design applications made from lightweight - composite materials. In order to carry out mechanical analysis and optimize our design of experiment, we orient ourselves on software programmes like the Abaqus FEA product. This program not only utilizes static, but also dynamic loads on composite structures, such as impact, torsion, flexural loads, fractures,etc. The Simula site states that it includes: laminate damage, transverse sjear calculations, ply definitions etc. Now my questions is: do we need more than this to select and define our composite material, and shelf life?

Also take a look at ANSYS Multiphysics Finite Element Software. They state that: "ANSYS Multiphysics solution enable engineering people and people in charge of design, to rigorously simulate the interaction of fluid flow dynamics, acoustics and electromagnetic interaction, structural mechanics by finite element simulations, all within a single software product.". Their online video presentation plainly confirms the previous statements! In several cases, especially chemical resistance and corrosion in combination with permeation and/or UV, is a significant aspect of the material decision. For example, when designing in FRP, corrosion resistance is a specific material design consideration. Then additional info, such as chemical resistance guides, type of processing, corrosion and diffusion rates are of importance.
