DESIGN ENGINEERING Project development of carbon fiber components, from the early concept up to the instructions for production ANALYSIS ENGINEERING Numerical analysis of components and systems for structural reliability and optimal lightweight design PROTOTYPING ACTIVITIES Design of experiments and prototyping for testing activity to provide a validated final design COST ENGINEERING A detailed digital ply by ply model enables cost engineering since the early stages of design MANUFACTURABILITY ANALYSIS Plies and fibers behavior analysis for manufacturing and optimal laying up procedures definition DOCUMENTATION Development of manufacturing instructions for accurate and repeatable production process COMPOSITES COMPONENTS DESIGN PROCESS Work is carried out from concept development through to the solid modelling of the layered laminated geometry, to obtain plybooks and draped models, for manufacturability and structural analysis, predominantly based on Dassault Systemes Catia-CPD Technology. The design output can include detailed executive drawings, flattened templates for nesting and instructions for manufacturing. Find Out More NUMERICAL ANALYSIS FOR STRUCTURAL DESIGN The solid model of the detailed layup is automatically transported into the FE environment in order to develop a range of linear and non-linear simulations taking into account actual fibre angles. Experimental activities from material to higher scale levels are implemented to generate a predictive numerical model, to optimize the component design and to reduce the number of prototypes before series production and certification. Find Out More TOOLING DESIGN FOR STRUCTURAL TESTING AND PRODUCT INNOVATION The activity ranges from material coupons through to full scale testing. The correct specification of load application devices, restraint fixtures and the correct measuring equipment are key to minimizing cost and repetitions of test setups whilst collecting the required experimental data.
