ANSYS CFX to model flow of a loaded epoxy resin
(OP)
Hello,
I was wondering if someone can give me some advice. I'm interested in modelling the flow of an epoxy resin that's been loaded with a filler material as it fills a mould. I believe the fluid will be non-newtonian and it's properties will change with time as it begins to cure. Is this something that CFX can model?
Many thanks
George

Is it something that could be temperature dependent? For instance, is your resin cure endo- or exo-thermic? Can you map the temperature change as a function of time and then perhaps relate your resin properties to a function of temperature rather than time?
If so, I would think CFX could do it. AMPS (www.ampstech.com) could probably do it. I'm sure there are other softwares out there that would be able to do something similar.

but I have used it for plastic injection molding (with or without fillers) and general purpose CFD.
