Digital Analysis of a GFRP and Generation of a Statistical Digital Twin

PDF tutorial

Fiber-reinforced composites are indispensable for lightweight construction applications in the automotive and aerospace industries thanks to their low weight and high strength. However, the multitude of possible material combinations makes purely experimental optimization time-consuming and costly.

GeoDict supports you in analyzing the microstructure of composite materials and creating digital material twins to predict mechanical properties virtually.

In this PDF tutorial you will learn step-by-step:

  • Import 3D scans: Import a scanned engine bearing with ImportGeo-Vol.
  • Analyze fibers and mechanical properties: Determine fiber distribution with FiberFind – Identify Fibers (AI) and calculate mechanical properties with ElastoDict.
  • Post-process results: Analyze the data with GeoDexcel (Excel required).
  • Create a statistical twin: Derive a statistical digital twin of the microstructure with FiberGeo.
  • Validate properties: Compare the simulation results of the original scan with those of the statistical twin in ElastoDict.

This tutorial is intended for materials scientists, engineers, and developers who want to optimize the mechanical performance of composite materials through digital analysis and simulation.
