AwSIM™ begins with the fundamental fiber and matrix properties constituent properties, predicts the unidirectional and lamina anisotropic stiffness and strengths, and then predicts the full-up composite laminate material stiffness and strengths. AwSIM™ also develops optimized lay-up architectures as well as predicts progressive damage for composites. AwSIM™ is based on classical composite theory that incorporates empirical industry and in-house tests properties at Simulations. Simulations performs in-house CNC and conventional machining of metals and composites. A specialty of Simulations is boron-based composite design, machining, and testing composites: all performed in-house.
