Tutorial: Filling Analysis

Complete a resin transfer molding analysis.

In this tutorial you will learn how to submit a run starting with a model which is already organized.
  • Import the geometry
  • Identify the parts
  • Launch HyperXtrude solver to run Inspire Resin Transfer Molding analysis
  • Post process the results
