METHOD FOR SIMULATING A FIBER ORIENTATION IN AN INJECTION-MOLDED PART MADE OF A FIBER-REINFORCED PLASTIC, AND DESIGN METHOD FOR DESIGNING AN INJECTION-MOLDED PART MADE OF A FIBER-REINFORCED PLASTIC

A method for simulating a fiber orientation in an injection-molded part made of a fiber-reinforced plastic. An orientation of the fibers in the injection-molded part to be manufactured that is present after the injection molding is determined via a macroscopic simulation of the injection molding. The macroscopic simulation of the injection molding takes place using macroscopic physical parameters of the fiber-reinforced plastic. In the macroscopic simulation, a temporal development of the fiber orientation tensor is determined via a combination of two macroscopic models. A first temporal development of the fiber orientation tensor is determined via a first macroscopic model based on shear flows. A second temporal development of the fiber orientation tensor is determined via a second macroscopic model based on elongation flows. The method is applied in a method for designing an injection-molded part made of a fiber-reinforced plastic.
