3D HGT-assisted thermoset AFP (thermal)
- 3D thermal simulation of the thermoset Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) using a Hot Gas Torch (HGT).
- Use of PFEM3D and Metafor models.
HGT model in PFEM3D
- Complex HGT geometry with 4 separate outlets.
- Prediction of the steady-state surface temperature.
Velocity field
Temperature field
Thermal AFP model in Metafor
- Steady-state temperature field from the HGT is given as input.
- Thermal exchanges with environment, roller and backup plate.
- Thermal contact resistance between layers.
- Non-linear layup speed.
