Automatic Multi-criteria Optimisation of Composites Design for AFP

Design of composites parts rarely considers production means specificities, although all actors of the composites world agree that it should. Now, with CATFiber DFM, which extends CATIA Composites, investigating design solutions to improve mechanical properties and weight yet taking Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) production capacities into account has become a reality. With 3DEXPERIENCE, running hundreds of studies with multiple input and output criteria is now accessible to all composites designers.
The partnership Coriolis and Dassault Systèmes, with their CATFiber and 3DEXPERIENCE solutions, opens the door to true Design For Manufacturing (DFM) optimisation.
