• Manufacturing processes for CFRP automobile parts (e.g. RTM) are in most cases complex ones
(material, process design, …).
• The BMW Group makes use of process simulation intensively for CFRP product and process
development (draping, filling, warpage).
• A modular interface with full coupling of all RTM process steps has shown better simulation
accuracy and faster modeling tasks.
• Capabilities from commercial CAE software (e.g. ANSA) can cover most of the numerical
requirements for such an interface.
• Automation of mapping, calculation and data exchange is a key factor, which can be addressed by
scripting functionalities.
• Process simulation contributes greatly to process robustness and quality.
