Composites Simulation SuiteVirtual manufacturing of composite materials

PAM-QUIKFORM Draping

PAM-QUIKFORM is a powerful geometric solver offering up front composite parts feasibility assessment

> Ease your decision-making by eliminating bad design choices.

PAM-RTM Liquid Composites Molding and Curing

PAM-RTM enables resin injection or infusion of dry reinforcements simulation

> Define and optimize ports and media locations, minimize the risk of producing defective parts and master tool design and process parameters

PAM-DISTORTION Composites Shape Distortion

PAM-DISTORTION simulates shape distortion induced by manufacturing

> Take into account thermo-mechanical and chemical shrinkage during your manufacturing process.

PAM-FORM Composites Thermoforming

PAM-FORM enables prepregs (thermosets and thermoplastics) forming and textile pre-forming simulation.

> Select the most appropriate material, the right tooling design and the best process parameters to get it right the first time!

Virtual Performance Solution allows the mechanical assessment of composite structures through realistic and predictive numerical simulation.

“The composite simulation solution from ESI Group is very attractive to us. The Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) process will have a good future in China. As ESI Group has such a wide scope of composite simulation solutions, I am confident that ESI’s solutions will benefit BIAM and LAC, and will leverage China’s aeronautics composite simulation level.”

Dr. Yi Xiaosu, Director of the Science Technology Committee at Beijing Institute of Aeronautical Materials.

“PAM-RTM can handle a variety of RTM process variations (matched mold, VARTM, resin film infusion). CCAT saw value in demonstrating this approach to industrial companies to help them reduce trial-and-error iterations when designing a new process. CCAT has engaged with several organizations to exercise PAM-RTM on a variety of parts, providing insight to issues such as runner design, filling time and pressure distribution.”

Gregory Hasko, Applications Engineer, Composites Manufacturing, Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT).
