WoundSIM is a powerful tool used to design and simulate composite overwarpped pressure vessels (COPVs).
A graphical interface is used to instantly view the composite layup as the table of the
composite layers is defined. Layers thickness buildup is automatically calculated, along with the continuously varying wind angles. Smeared material properties are computed and assigned throughout the COPV.
A run ready FEA model is generated thanks to the integrated FEA software translator.
WoundSim can be considered a replacement solution for WCM pligin developed by SIMULIA.
