The option enables transferring Moldex3D orientation data for short and long fiber reinforced composites to solid meshes for further structural analysis.

Several options are available to handle short fiber reinforced composite materials with the LS-DYNA application. The Envyo program supports *MAT_ANISOTROPIC_ELASTIC_PLASTIC (*MAT 157) and output of *ELEMENT_SOLID_ORTHO cards for the use of other arbitrary orthotropic material models within the LS-DYNA application. Support for *MAT_4A_MICROMEC (*MAT 215) is also available.

For more information about the handling of short fiber reinforced materials with *MAT 157, see [11], [16], [15], and [10]. For more details on *MAT 215, see [21].
