Conclusions

Several works and studies around composite forming with Radioss

Reduced input data, simple set up, reasonably fast and accurate

Different scales modeling approaches depending on the expected results

Influence of forming results on crash simulation results has been shown

Mapping with re-zoning allows to take into account material degradation

Mapping compatible with sandwitch and multi-layers modeling

Validation is in progress

Perspectives

To validate with benchmarks and experimental comparisons

To develop a dual-phase material to model cool and warm resin

To validate and compare draping approach with other methods

To continue to use mesoscopic modeling thru multi-scale coupling or for

macroscopic modeling validation
