ESI Launches PAM-COMPOSITES 2016
04 Octobre 2016 - 6:07PM
ESI Group
, leading innovator in Virtual Prototyping
software and services for manufacturing industries, announces
the release of its PAM-COMPOSITES 2016
software solution to
provide process and design engineers with its full suite of modules
to predict, analyze and correct manufacturing defects of composite
structural components across the complete manufacturing chain.
The cost-effective solution combines the
existing modules of ESI Group with new, innovative enhancements
that enable process and design engineers to precisely identify the
origin of defects and manufacture composite parts with a higher
degree of accuracy; reducing material waste and obsoleting the need
for costly and time consuming trial and error approaches.

manufacturing chain for developing a defect-free aeronautic
composite fuselage panel. |
Using the ESI PAM-COMPOSITES solution, process
and design engineers can tailor simulations to the exact nature of
the composite material and their unique shop floor environment to
improve process stability and reduce manufacturing defects for a
vast range of composites manufacturing processes. These include:
draping, thermoforming, Liquid Composites Molding (LCM), Resin
Transfer Molding (RTM), and curing , as well as two new robot
draping processes: Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) and Automated
Tape Layering (ATL).
Jacinto Tortosa, CEO at FIDAMC - a
Spanish company aiming to consolidate their leadership position in
composite material technology - recognizes the contribution of
numerical simulation to their success. He states that ESI
PAM-COMPOSITES allows them to perform "the analysis and
optimization of each individual manufacturing operation" so they
can "save cost and speed up project completion, substituting
manufacturing trials by simulation ".
In PAM-COMPOSITES 2016, the newly introduced
Design of Experiments (DoE) functionality automatically analyzes
variations in the composite material and manufacturing process
parameters to allow process and design engineers to optimize key
influencing parameters and improve process stability.
The new Die Spotting functionality allows
process and design engineers to automatically morph existing tools
to ensure a perfect contact with the part. This avoids the bridging
effects often seen with thermoformed organo-sheet components where
resin migration and lack of compaction leads to visible defects. It
also allows engineers to avoid the incidence of areas with low
fiber content or race tracking during resin injection or
infusion.
PAM-COMPOSITES brings together the PAM-FORM,
PAM-RTM and PAM-DISTORTION modules into one, competitively-priced
bundle within a process-oriented Graphical User Interface to free
specialist resources and allow all engineers to use this highly
intuitive solution.
