The role of advanced materials like fiber reinforced plastics and continuous fiber composite materials offer great opportunities to create products that are lighter than when manufactured out of steel or aluminum, without negatively impacting performance. This trend in material exploration is requiring companies to think and design differently. CAE Simulation is playing a critical role in helping companies explore not only design alternatives but also explore the impact of alternative manufacturing processes.
