摘要: Liquid Composite Molding (LCM) is a popular manufacturing process used in many industries. In Resin Transfer (RTM), the liquid resin flows through fibrous preform placed mold. Numerical simulation of filling stage useful tool mold design. this paper implemented method based on coupling Boundary Element Method (BEM) with Level Set tracking. The present contribution two-dimensional approach, decoupled from kinetics, thermal analysis and reinforcement deformation occurring during flow. Applications are presented tested, including flow close to industrial conditions.
