FiberGeo
models and generates nonwovens and fiber-reinforced composites
|
|
Starting from random distributions of fibers, FiberGeo creates virtual non-wovens and fiber reinforced composites. The fibers can be straight or curved, where the profile shape can be varied (circular, elliptical, rectangular, cellulose, etc.). The orientation of fibers and the distribution of fiber parameters can be specified.
Important application areas are fiber reinforced composites, filter media, and dewatering felts.
The non-wovens are available as 3-dimensional images and as analytical data (*.gad, GeoDict analytic data), which can be used to export surface triangulations (stl-files) for CAD-programs.
Material properties like pore-size distribution, flow resistivity (permeability, pressure drop), effective thermal and electrical conductivity, effective elasticity, effective diffusion, filter efficiency, filter capacity, and many more, can be calculated directly on the geometry models, using other GeoDictmodules, e.g. PoroDict, ConductoDict, FlowDict, ElastoDict, DiffuDict or FilterDict.
