Define parameters and execute an analysis to understand filling, packing, cooling or warpage events during molding.
Generate results for individual or combined events.
Select a material with defined fiber properties for your model and run a detailed filling analysis to produce results
that include fiber orientation tensors.
View the status of the current run, as well runs for the current model that have not yet been viewed. To see all past
runs, you need to view the run history.
Select a material with defined fiber properties for your model and run a detailed filling analysis to produce results
that include fiber orientation tensors.
Select a material with defined fiber properties for your model and run a detailed
filling analysis to produce results that include fiber orientation tensors.
Define fiber properties for an existing material in the Materials Viewer and save it
as a new material. Apply that material to your analysis.
On the Analyze icon, click Run
Analysis.
On the Stages tab of the Run Analysis dialog, adjust the Speed/Accuracy slider
to Detailed.
Select the Filling and Add Fibers
options.
For Number of layers, enter 5 or
more. The detailed solver requires a minimum of 5 mesh layers to initiate the
fiber computations.
Define other settings in the Run Analysis dialog as required for your
analysis.
Click Run.
When the analysis is completed, select the run, Filling
stage Fiber Orientation result type, and one of the
following Fiber Orientation Tensors in the Analysis Explorer.
XX: red color contour displays tensor in the
X-direction.
YY: red color contour displays tensor in the
Y-direction.
ZZ: red color contour displays tensor in the
Z-direction.
XY: displays tensor on the XY-plane.
YZ: displays tensor on the XZ-plane.
ZX: displays tensor on the ZX-plane.
