Advanced simulation captures part performance
for fibre reinforced thermoplastics
Comparing the results of isotropic material data to anisotropic
material data
Case study

Figure 2: Digimat material model workflow when coupled with an FEA solver
Manufacturing Intelligence hexagonmi.com2
Solution
Avient leveraged Digimat to reverse-engineer material
data based on the microstructure, tensile test data,
and micro-mechanical modelling.
Figure 1: Tensile test data as a function of the fibre orientation 0°
(orange), 45° (green), 90° (blue)
https://www.hexagonmi.com
Figure 4: Failure location in the flexural test for the isotropic modelling
Figure 6: Failure location in the tensile test for the isotropic modelling
approach (left), Digimat anisotropic modelling approach (middle) and
reality (right)
Figure 3: Flexural test results with the isotropic modelling approach
(orange) and Digimat anisotropic modelling approach (green)
Figure 5: Tensile test results with the isotropic modelling approach
(orange) and Digimat anisotropic modelling approach (green)
Figure 5 shows the tensile test results with, again,
a convincing advantage for the Digimat anisotropic
modelling approach against the isotropic modelling
approach.
