Webinar | Modellare i materiali compositi con la simulazione

Progettare nello stesso momento materiali e strutture, per massimizzare le caratteristiche meccaniche del prodotto: è così che si può davvero trarre vantaggio dai materiali ingegnerizzati. Un software di simulazione è un alleato prezioso per il progettista di laminati in composito: consente di prevedere le prestazioni dei materiali, individuare le soluzioni progettuali più efficaci e analizzare tutte le interazioni tra fenomeni fisici, prima ancora della prototipazione.
