PAM-RTM for CATIA V5
Reference: RTM-CA-B

Level: Basic
Duration: 1.5 day
Audience: CAE engineers and designers involved in the Resin Transfer Molding process.
Objectives: Become familiar with PAM-RTM for CATIA V5 simulation solution for the manufacturing process of resin injection through fibrous reinforcements.
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of CATIA geometrical tools and Generative Structural Analysis workbench.
Description: This course focuses on predictive simulation of the resin injection process and will help you answer the following questions:
Which process should I use to make this part? Will I be able to inject this preform? Can I use this resin? Where should I set the injection points? Where should I set the injection lines? What is the injection sequence? What is the pressure? What is the filling time?
Course content:
  • Optional half-day training on CATIA Advanced Meshing Tools workbench.
  • Optional half day training on CATIA V5 Composite Design workbench.

1st half-day:

  • Presentation of the CATIA V5 philosophy: generative modeling, associativity.
  • Basic surfacic cases: line injection on a plate, central injection on a plate. How to define the injection and vents boundary conditions.  Basic post-processing.
  • Opening and closing of injection points and vents
  • Air entrapment
  • Material database.
  • Material orientation methods.

2nd half-day:

Overview of advanced features

  • 3D case. Simple LRI (Liquid Resin Infusion) case built from a multi-layer mesh generated in CATIA.
  • Comparison between 2D, 2.5D and 3D cases on the same part (like a T-junction).
  • Non-isothermal simulations: preheating, filling, curing.
  • VARI.

3rd half-day:

  • Link with CPD (the Composite Design module of CATIA V5).
  • Workshop on automotive, aeronautic or ship building applications.
