| Results Summary |
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:
For more information about a result, including how to interpret the display, click on the result name.
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.
The Fiber orientation tensor result shows the orientation tensor (degree of orientation) at the end of the injection molding process.
The Linear thermal expansion coefficient result indicate any shrinkage that has occurred in relation to temperature changes.
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.
The Poisson’s ratio (v12) result indicates the strain in the second principal direction caused by the stress in the first principal direction.
The Poisson’s ratio (v13) result is generated from a Fiber orientation Pack analysis using 3D analysis technology.
The Poisson’s ratio (v23) result indicates the strain in the third principal direction caused by the stress in the second principal direction.
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.
The Shear modulus (G12) result shows the shear strain applied in the XY direction, coinciding with the fiber orientation direction.
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.
The Shear modulus (G23) result indicates the shear strain applied in the YZ direction (second and third principal directions).
The Tensile modulus, principle direction results indicate how much stress is needed to cause a unit of movement.
