Why Resin Transfer Molding Simulation?
Resin transfer molding (RTM) is one of the liquid composites molding (LCM) process. The RTM process is used in many applications as it can reduce the time of manufacturing and make high strength of products. This process has very high potential for composite components production, which can bring higher cost efficiency for industries.
Filling behaviors caused by anisotropic permeability along the thickness directions
Challenges
- Evaluate the influence of fiber mat property on permeability and filling behaviors in both flow and thickness directions
- Optimize resin infusion parameters such as pressure, flow rate, multi-inlet open/close control, etc
- Evaluate the impact on flow direction by applying different venting designs
