e-Xstream engineering, an MSC Software company, announced a collaboration project with Hexcel Corporation, a leading advanced composites materials company.
HexMC® is a Hexcel product made of long discontinuous carbon pre-impregnated fibres and was specifically developed for compression molding of structural parts with complex geometries. Hexcel has superior material and process expertise to generate the data needed to support e-Xstream in the development of next generation of long discontinuous fibre simulation. In this collaboration, e-Xstream will develop the Digimat® platform to model the molding of HexMC® material (Digimat-CM), HexMC® behavior (Digimat-FE) and the performance of the structures made from HexMC® (Digimat-RP). Hexcel and e-Xstream will also work closely together on the verification & validation of the software on actual parts.
"We've been working with Hexcel for more than 10 years. Today we are very proud to grow our partnership to support HexMC® and help our customer to design and product HexMC® structures," says Roger A. Assaker, CEO of e-Xstream engineering.
"HexMC® is an engineered molding compound that can be formed into high performance structures, if designed to leverage its unique features and attributes. We are extremely delighted to offer design tools developed by e-Xstream that can enable customers to realize the most from this performance material," says Sanjeev Gaikwad, Director of Sales and Marketing for Hexcel.
