Customize a material to include fibers and fiber orientation data.
The default materials in the Materials Database do not
include fiber orientation data. To produce simulation results that include fiber
orientation data, you must customize a material and define the fiber properties in the
My Materials tab of the Materials dialog. The Materials dialog is accessible from the
microdialog when designating a part cavity.
-
Use the Designate Part Cavity or the Auto
Configure Components tool to indentify the part cavity.
-
Select the View Materials icon in the microdialog.
-
Select a Material Group and a Material name, then click
Edit.
-
On the My Materials tab, select .
-
Modify the fiber properties as required, enter a name for the new material, and
select Save.
