The Short Fiber Reinforced Plastic app generates a predefined fibrous structure.

Clicking Edit opens the Short Fiber Reinforced Plastic Parameters dialog.

Parameters

The following parameters have to be defined before running the GeoApp:

• Result File Name,
• Voxel Length,
• Domain Width in X- and Y-direction,
• Number of Layers,

• Matrix Material,
• Fiber Material,

• Fiber Volume Percentage,
• Fiber Size, which is the Fiber Diameter and the Fiber Length,
• and the Fiber Orientation, consisting of entries on the diagonal of the Orientation Tensor. Please note that the sum of the three orientation values XX, YY and ZZ has to be 1.

Clicking Run creates the plastic structure.

Results

When the structure generation finishes, the Result Viewer of the result file (*.gdr) opens automatically. The resulting structure has no overlap.
