Avient and Hexagon used Digimat to develop anisotropic long fibre material data for a molded connector rod.
Compared to an isotropic modelling approach, Avient obtained realistic predictions with the Digimat anisotropic modelling approach for both the tensile and flexural tests of the connector rod.

Shielding connectors deliver higher speeds, lower costs than ever before
A manufacturer of high-speed, electronic connectors for the telecommunications industry had a customer that needed a connector for a new, low-cost computer it was developing.
The connector company’s product development engineers established three key criteria for the polymer needed to meet the cost and performance needs of the new connector:

Avient Introduces Durable Orange Nylon Colorants for High Voltage Electrical Vehicle (EV) Connectors
Avient Introduces durable orange nylon colorants for High Voltage Electrical Vehicle (EV) Connectors, combining high heat and long-term color stability against fading in glass-filled PA6 and PA66 systems without compromising flame retardancy or mechanical performance.
Cautionary orange is a widely used color as a warning of potential safety hazards and is a preferred choice for automotive manufacturers to distinguish high-voltage power connectors and cables in electric vehicles from other parts,” said Bob Lee, General Manager, Color and Additives Greater China at Avient.
