Sensor Analysis

The Sensor Analysis is one of the available features inside SimuTherm and enables the real-time analysis of curing kinetics for thermosets for given temperature histories. Here, either ideal curing cycles or curing upon experimental data can be analyzed. 

 

The following curing kinetics models are available: 

  • Kamal-Malkin model 
  • Grindling model 
  • Karkanas model 
  • Multi-Peak model 

Further models can be implemented upon request. 

 

The following result variables are available: 

  • Degree of cure 
  • Rate of cure 
  • Glass transition temperature 
  • Viscosity 

Thermoforming Analysis

The Thermoforming Analysis is another available feature inside SimuTherm and enables real-time analysis of through-thickness temperature and crystallization for thermoforming (GMT, tape laminates) and compression molding (LFT, sandwiches).

 

The stages considered for thermokinetical modeling are:

  • Transfer from oven to mold
  • Open-mold cooling
  • Closed-mold cooling
  • Molding time
  • Dwell time

 

The following result variables are available:

  • Temperature
  • Relative crystallinity
  • Rate of temperature
  • Rate of relative crystallinity

Thermo-forming Analysis

The Thermoforming Analysis is one of the available features inside SimuTherm and enables real-time analysis of through-thickness temperature and crystallization for thermoforming (GMT, tape laminates) and compression molding (LFT, sandwiches).

The stages considered for thermokinetical modeling are:

Transfer from oven to mold
Open-mold cooling
Closed-mold cooling

Molding time
Dwell time

The result variables include the evolution of the local temperature and relative crystallinity.

Material Cards

A variety of material cards is provided through our growing material library. Moreover, personal material cards can be loaded so that SimuTherm can also be used with confidential material data.
