Simulation Software for Automotive and Aircraft Interiors Trimming Operations

Wrapstyler® is a CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) software made for designing the material covering 3D shapes, especially for automotive and aircraft interior trimming operations.

Using an exclusive and industry-proven 3D to 3D flattening technology, Wrapstyler generates accurate 2D patterns from 3D shapes that can be transferred to nesting, cutting systems and digital image software.

Deformation, stress and normal pressure calculation allow in-depth analysis and early detection of feasibility problems.

A real time integrated 3D rendering tool gives immediate realistic display of virual prototypes.

Benefits

reduction of the number of physical prototypes

faster design

early anticipation of feasibility problems

cost-saving.

Flattening Engine

advanced algorithm based on a physical modelisation of the trimming process

a new optimised algorithm allow flattening of shapes made of hundred of thousands of triangles

allowance for material mechanical parameters, external constraints and pattern orientations

calculation of deformation and stress fields

calculation of normal pressures (force reaction of foam).

3D Analysis

real-time display of deformation, stress and normal pressure fields on the 3D model and 2D pattern

user-defined thresholds and colour ramp

statistical analysis of deformation, stress and normal pressures levels

reporting.
