[CAE Solution Case] Resin Sheet Press Molding

Presenting technical data! Introducing an example of seat press forming analysis modeled after automotive headlining.

We would like to introduce a CAE solution case using the structural analysis software 'ASU/V-Struct' for resin sheet press molding. In automotive interiors, such as headliners, there are many instances where composite materials centered around resin are formed by pressing. During these molding processes, similar to metal pressing, defects such as cracks and wrinkles can occur, and adjusting molds and molding conditions through trial and error can require a significant amount of time and effort. By using simulations, it is possible to predict molding defects and shorten development periods. For more detailed case information and about our products and services, please refer to the PDF materials. [Case Overview (Partial)] ■Challenges - We would like to consider measures for molding defects such as cracks and wrinkles. - We would like to explore methods for securing the sheet during pressing. - We would like to investigate the deformation of the sheet and the timing of contact with the mold. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

basic information

【Summary of Other Cases】 ■Proposal - By simulating the conditions during molding, visualize issues such as deformation and strain in the thickness direction. - Implement accurate judgments and measures by identifying problems. ■Effects - By predicting areas prone to molding defects during the design phase, reduce the occurrence of defects and minimize rework. - The progression of deformation leads to the examination of molding conditions. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
