material behaviour
water meter cover
Commissioned by material supplier Sabic we optimised a water meter cover. To enter new markets the cover must withstand higher burst pressure. A cost-effective solution which is implemented in the existing tool.

fiber orientation prediction
A custom material model, with anisotropic material behaviour enables accurate prediction of strength and failure. With this approach the time to failure was delayed to higher pressures.
