Abstract
Abstract
This paper proposes a method to simulate the Resin Transfer Molding process by using Ansys Fluent software. The offered approach permits to calculate impregnation time, to predict dry zones after impregnation and proposes a method to calculate porosity of the final product to predict the mechanical properties. The method is illustrated in the plate resin impregnation case.
