Cadfil 2024 is a professional composite material winding process simulation software developed by Crescent Consultants Ltd in the UK, primarily used for automated winding programming and simulation analysis of composite material structural components. Below are its core functions and features:
Main Functions
Rapid Modeling: Supports parametric modeling of complex rotary structures such as hydrogen storage cylinders, pipes, and rocket engines, enabling quick generation of models for spherical, conical, cylindrical, and other non-standard structural components.
Automated Winding Design: Provides automatic transition winding functionality, supporting conversion between circumferential and helical winding patterns, suitable for high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinders (supporting multi-layer winding with over 100 layers).
Local Reinforcement Functionality: Enables automatic reinforcement placement in specific areas of pressure vessels.
Robot Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with NC winding equipment, supporting robot winding path generation and trajectory optimization.
CAE Analysis Interface: Integrates with finite element analysis software (such as ANSYS) to support mechanical performance simulation and verification.
Application Scenarios
Aerospace: Rocket engine casings, satellite structural components.
Energy Sector: High-pressure hydrogen storage cylinders, pipelines.
Industrial Manufacturing: Golf clubs, conical shafts, and other non-standard structural components.
