User-Friendly Permeability Predicting Software for Technical Textiles
Abstract
For simulating the injection stage of the manufacturing process of composite materials, the permeability of the textile is an important input parameter. The permeability of textiles can be determined experimentally.
However, this is a time and resource consuming process and no standard procedure is yet available. In this paper, we will present a user-friendly software package to simulate the flow through a textile model and predict the permeability
Results are presented for a woven fabric and two different non-crimp fabrics. The computed permeability values are compared with experimental results.
