This will help to prevent flashing from occurring behind slides or inserts.

However, it is complex and requires advanced data to more accurately predict how a material will realistically perform in an end-use application. This observed variability in the material response highlights the need for an advanced predictive approach for material modelling that incorporates anisotropic data. Through further investigation of the advanced material modelling results, an opportunity to improve the test model was identified and implemented.
