Virtual Design |CATIA Composites Engineering Productive process oriented environment dedicated to the design of composite parts from preliminary to engineering detailed design Highlights Challenges The potential that composites offer is often spoiled by tedious tasks. Composites manufacturing constraints cannot be taken into account in the conceptual stage. • Grid based design for structures of large composite parts • Zones & transition zones modeling definition • Powerful plies generation from grid/zones & taper or zones and solid slicing • Mighty ply modeling tools based on 3D features • Solid/Top surface/Inner Mold Line generation from zones and plies • Early manufacturing assessment • High fiber simulation tools • Complete inspection tools Benefits • Flexible preliminary design approaches to get plies tailored to each type of intended part • Automation and quick design change with zones modeling • Capture specifications and analysis context at preliminary design stage • Respect company's standards
