Integrated Numerical Simulation for SMC in Compression Molding Process

Compression molding with Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) is a favored molding method for producing large, lightweight structural components by manufacturers across a wide range of industries. To help design engineers better predict the performance of the final SMC composite parts, it is necessary to take into account both flow and deformation behavior of SMC in compression molding to further investigate the influence of fiber orientation on mechanical strength. In this webinar, we’ll present how Moldex3D can be a viable solution that enables a more comprehensive, accurate simulation of SMC compression molding through a tighter integration with LS-DYNA.
