Creating a Producibility for Fiber Placement

Select the ply.
Select the propagation type.
Define a seed point.
1. Choose Selection and pick an existing point (or create it).
2. Or select Indication and pick a location on the ply.
  Tip: This allows a quicker analysis of the producibility as you can restart the analysis with another point without creating one.
Define regions or sectors for each tape or tow in the table under Geometry Reference.
The last line of the table is dedicated to the creation of a new sector.
Use the context menus to modify the inputs.
When available, select a Fiber Initialization from the list.
Define a Warp and Weft under Mesh Step Length.
Select the Material tab to retrieve information about the material referenced by the ply and edit some parameters.
Select the Thickness Update tab to activate it.
1. Select a type of computation.
2. Select the type of elements to process.
3. Enter required parameters.
Select the Advanced Parameters tab to fine-tune the simulation.
Parameters vary with the selected propagation type.
Select the Results tab to
1. Control the display of results appropriate to the physics underlying the solution.
2. Animate the producibility result.
3. Perform a producibility inspection.
4. Select the fibers to keep.
Select the Geometry Creation tab to
1. Transfer geometry from 3D to 2D.
2. Categorize elements.
3. Keep Fiber Mesh Curves.
