Project Objective
The project aims to leverage modeling and simulation to support the manufacturing of braided composite materials and accurately predict their as-built mechanical properties. It also provides an opportunity to investigate the performance of TENRON® fibers and compare their mechanical behavior with that of conventional carbon fibers.
GDTech's Contribution
- Manufacturing process simulation
- Prediction (with virtual testing) of the mechanical performance of braided composites
- Modeling and solution of industrial use cases
