Siemens PLM Software's FiberSIM allows aerospace, automotive, and wind power specialists to optimize the weight, cost, and performance of PCM (polymer composite materials) products by accurately controlling the orientation of the reinforcing fibers.


The use of Fibersim reduces risks by optimizing the design and manufacture of durable and lightweight innovative structures in the aerospace, automotive and wind energy industries. The package was developed by Vistagy, acquired by Siemens on December 7, 2011, and a commercial division of Siemens PLM Software.
Fibersim reduces the degree of uncertainty in the behavior of composite parts under loads by describing, transferring and testing the required orientation of the fibers throughout the entire product development process, ensuring accurate compliance with the specified specifications. Using handy tools that eliminate errors when working with design data, you can reduce the risk of designing complex parts with overweight, undefined properties and high cost.
Fibersim is an advanced solution for the development of PCM products that helps world leaders in the aerospace, automotive, wind and other industries to successfully solve complex tasks throughout the production cycle - from conceptual design, detailed design, layer modeling and production data to quality control . Fibersim can be fully integrated into market-leading commercial 3D CAD systems.
Advantages of Fibersim:
•
Advanced optimization at design stage
Fibersim helps to reduce the degree of uncertainty in the behavior of products from PCM under loads thanks to a new Spatial-Based Rosette coordinate system, which makes it possible to simulate the laying of materials with orientation along the trajectory. This information can be transmitted between all participants in the development process throughout the entire cycle. Providing the necessary orientation of the fiber of the parts to be made - whether it is an aircraft-made stringer, a car frame or a 60-meter wind turbine blade - is a critical factor in optimizing the weight and performance of the product.
•
Exact modeling of stacking composite materials on complex shapes
The Fibersim package was the first to introduce advanced process simulation functions for multilayer materials, including multiaxial fabrics. These functions formed the basis of Fibersim, which allows simulating an even greater amount of materials and production processes using the first in the history function of Technological modeling along a guide (Spine-Based Simulation) for details with buckling. The material that is laid along the generators of such parts as an aircraft stringer, an automobile body strut, or a wind turbine guide blade will have local waviness and deformations. Determining the causes of these phenomena at an early stage of the production cycle allows you to make the right key decisions to ensure the expected strength of parts in a timely and cost-effective manner.
•
Effective transfer of a full description of the part between the design and calculation departments
The program presents a new exchange of multiaxial fabrics and fillers. This functionality provides an opportunity for effective interaction between designers and strengths, taking into account the most important components throughout the product development cycle. To accurately calculate the rigidity and strength of parts, it is necessary to take into account the specific characteristics of multiaxial fabrics and fillers, which are often used in designing in the aerospace, automotive and wind energy industries.
•
Simplify the process of developing composite parts and documentation
Fibersim helps to simplify the process of developing composite parts with the help of new, easy-to-use design tools and documentation generation created for engineers with different experience in the field of PCM. The most difficult and time-consuming task in the design process is to work with the specifications of escapes between zones of constant thickness. The Fibersim package introduces for the first time the Visual Stagger Editor feature (Visual Stagger Editor) to simplify working with such specifications. Large aerospace panels, such as wings, stabilizers, or tail, have a significant number of different escape profiles. The sbeg profile editor facilitates the development of profiles and reduces the likelihood of design errors.
