WoundSim 2025 is now available !

After the release of WoundSim 2024 version with many amaizing featues, the WoundSim 2025 Major Release is now available with some fixes and with suport of Abaqus 2025 GA version.

About WoundSim:

WoundSim offers an intuitive, user-friendly GUI for defining COPV attributes and laminate tables. The software automatically computes composite layup, layer thickness buildup, and continuously varying wind angles, providing instant visual feedback.The tool performs analytical calculations to assess the structural response of the cylinder. Additionally, it can generate a detailed finite element analysis (FEA) model, enabling precise simulation of the entire COPV assembly, including the liner, boss, and other system components.

What’s Was New in WoundSim 2024 ?

- New GUI with a model tree for enhanced usability.

- Support for multiple COPVs and multiple models within the same project.

- Advanced layup capabilities for more precise composite modeling.

- Symmetric ply modeling support (non-smeared approach).

- Layered brick element support for both smeared and non-smeared approaches.

- Progressive failure modeling for improved structural integrity analysis.

- Additional FEA failure measures for more comprehensive failure assessment.

- FEA output storage for efficient data management.

- Analytical predesign capabilities using Classical Laminate Theory (CLT) and 3D elasticity theories.

- Failure measures based on analytical predesign results to streamline early-stage evaluations.

- Initial CAD-integrated winding capabilities for enhanced design workflows.

- Support of Abaqus 2023 GA.

What’s Was New in WoundSim 2025 ?

- Multible fixes and small enhancements.

- Support of Abaqus 2025 GA.

Notice:

"Support for the Abaqus 2024 release has been discontinued due to multiple critical bugs that render it incompatible with the WoundSim plugin."
