Siemens FiberSIM 16.0.1 for CATIA V5 R25-R28 / Siemens PLM NX 10-12

Siemens PLM Software has released FiberSIM 16.0.1. The software can be used to design and manufacture composite structures and is suitable for the aerospace, automotive, marine, and wind energy industries.

Key capabilities introduced in this release include the following:

- Persistent data for Zone Transitions, Splice Groups and Extended Ramps
. Building upon the persistent boundaries for layers and plies introduced in Fibersim 15.2, Fibersim 16 now also stores all the offset curves used to construct those layer and ply boundaries.
. Given that the vast majority of initial computation of layer boundaries is spent offsetting transitions, this project provides a huge performance benefit when working with complex zone-based designs. It also further protects against algorithm changes that affect layer and ply boundaries.
- Streamlined User Interface
. The entire Fibersim UI has been redesigned in a top-down “Go Fast” style that more closely matches NX, has a smaller footprint to show more of the CAD window, and dynamically updates forms to only show fields relevant to the current user selections.
. This should provide better usability for new users, easier product demos, and improved productivity for working with Fibersim and CAD.
- Expanded support for Wrapped Plies
. Based on customer feedback to the initial release of self-overlapping plies in Fibersim 15, Fibersim now supports the following for wrapped plies:
.. Ply holes and analysis data (weights)
.. Detailed design station
.. Analysis export
.. Plybooks
. Planar Cross Sections
.. Using a plane as input, users can now create nominal thickness cross sections that are more robust on complex geometry than traditional 3D cross sections, provide smoothing controls (ramp ratio), and get closer to the common “pretty picture” request from users.

This is a list of the enhancements and fixes for the 16.0.1 release:

- Corrected issue: Teamcenter 11.2 template uses wrong case for JETCAM Flat Pattern exports
There was a problem exporting JETCAM flat patterns from Fibersim to Teamcenter 11 using the
templates previously provided. The export would fail due to this error:
Fibersim is attempting to set the reference FS2_JETCAM while the template for 11.2 does not use all
upper case; instead it appears as “FS2_Jetcam”.
The template has been fixed for the 16.0.1 release.
- Corrected issue: Attempting to delete a material specification within a laminate specification
provides an error about generic objects
This issue prevented the deletion of material specifications within the laminate specifaction form.
This has been fixed for the 16.0.1 release.



About Siemens FiberSIM The nature of fiber-reinforced plastic products require rapid changes in the way analysis, design and manufacturing is traditionally performed. Unravel the complexities of these materials with the Fibersim portfolio of software. Experience a concurrent engineering process where analysis and design are performed in the context of the manufacturing process, which is key to developing optimal designs. The open architecture of Fibersim provides a specialized engineering environment to create a composite digital twin in NX, CATIA, or CREO.
