Composite Interface
• FiberSim interface
• Interface for users to automatically generate corresponding
PCOMP entries based on the zones & layup information
previously defined in FiberSIM
• All user interactions related to composite definitions will be
performed in the standalone CATIA/FiberSIM environment
• All FEM model definitions (mesh, LBC, analysis setup, ..) will be
done in core SimXpert
• Values
• Instant access to zone & layup info currently available in CATIA-
FiberSIM environment
• Composite property definition is calculated with SimXpert
generated mesh data
• Analysis ready
• Completely open to all SimXpert MD solutions

• Once the strains and stresses are known throughout the composite laminate, a
failure theory is used to detect failures for each lamina at a given load level, when
failure index is larger than one, degrade material stiffnesses

Delamination Introduction
• Delamination is one of the main failure mechanisms in laminated
composites
• Possible reasons for delamination are:
Manufacturing defects and stress
Gradients near geometric discontinuities (like stiffener terminations and bolted
joints)
• Delamination may result in local failure or even a significant loss of the
structural integrity
• Three different approach available:
VCCT
CZM
Breaking glued contact

Delamination:
Cohesive Zone Modeling (CZM)
• The interface elements can be modeled between 2D and 3D
structural finite elements:
• The cohesive material models are defined in terms of relative
displacements (between the top and bottom edges/faces)
versus tractions
