Fiber Orientation analysis results

    Text based results

    The following table lists the text results generated by using the fiber option in a Fill analysis or Fill+Pack analysis sequence.

    Graphical results

    The following table lists the graphical text results generated by using a material with fiber or filler content in a Fill analysis or Fill+Pack analysis sequence, and indicates whether each result is supported for the following analysis technologies:

    • Midplane
    • Dual Domain
    • 3D

    For more information about a result, including how to interpret the display, click on the result name.

    Note Fiber results from a Fill analysis or a Fill+Pack analysis sequence are created per the material selected. For example, if you select a material with fiber or filler content, Fiber results will be generated.
    108 Fiber breakage analysis results are produced only when the option to Calculate fiber breakage is enabled in the Fiber Solver Parameters.

    Topics in this section

    • Average fiber orientation result

      The Average fiber orientation result is generated by a Fill or Fill+Pack analysis using Midplane or Dual Domain analysis technology, when the option to perform Fiber orientation analysis if fiber material is enabled.

    • Fiber orientation tensor result

      The Fiber orientation tensor result shows the orientation tensor (degree of orientation) at the end of the injection molding process.

    • Linear thermal expansion coefficient results

      The Linear thermal expansion coefficient result indicate any shrinkage that has occurred in relation to temperature changes.

    • Poisson’s ratio (fiber) result

      The Poisson’s ratio (fiber) result is a fiber-over-thickness (FOT) averaged value, therefore, it is an element-based value averaged over all the laminates of each element.

    • Poisson’s ratio (v12) result

      The Poisson’s ratio (v12) result indicates the strain in the second principal direction caused by the stress in the first principal direction.

    • Poisson’s ratio (v13) (3D fiber) result

      The Poisson’s ratio (v13) result is generated from a Fiber orientation Pack analysis using 3D analysis technology.

    • Poisson’s ratio (v23) (3D fiber) result

      The Poisson’s ratio (v23) result indicates the strain in the third principal direction caused by the stress in the second principal direction.

    • Shear modulus (fiber) result

      The Shear modulus, sometimes called the rigidity modulus, refers to the change produced by a tangential stress, and provides a measure of how stiff the material is.

    • Shear modulus (G12) result

      The Shear modulus (G12) result shows the shear strain applied in the XY direction, coinciding with the fiber orientation direction.

    • Shear modulus (G13) (3D fiber) result

      The shear modulus, sometimes called the rigidity modulus, refers to the change produced by a tangential stress, and provides a measure of how stiff the material is.

    • Shear modulus (G23) (3D fiber) result

      The Shear modulus (G23) result indicates the shear strain applied in the YZ direction (second and third principal directions).

    • Tensile modulus, principal direction results

      The Tensile modulus, principle direction results indicate how much stress is needed to cause a unit of movement.

    • Fiber length averaged by number result

      The Fiber length averaged by number result is generated by a Fill or Fill+Pack analysis, when the option to perform Fiber orientation analysis if fiber material is enabled, the option to Calculate fiber breakage is enabled, and the selected molding material is a long-fiber composite material.

    • Fiber length averaged by weight result

      The Fiber length averaged by weight result is generated by a Fill or Fill+Pack analysis, when the option to perform Fiber orientation analysis if fiber material is enabled, the option to Calculate fiber breakage is enabled, and the selected molding material is a long-fiber composite material.

    • Fiber length probability distribution result

      The Fiber length probability distribution result is generated at specified nodes by a Fill or Fill+Pack analysis, when the option to perform Fiber orientation analysis if fiber material is enabled, the selected molding material is a long-fiber composite material, and the option to Calculate fiber breakage is enabled.
