What is it about?
The aim of the presented study was to develop a software tool implemented as a FE model designed to simulate and optimize the post-infusion effect of controlled pressure on a preform that has passed the resin filling stage in order to homogenize the pore pressure as well as reduce and equalize the distribution of porosity, providing improved geometry and mechanical properties of the produced polymer-composite structure.

Why is it important?
The results of the study made it possible to identify the main factors influencing the course of the simulated processes, critical situations, the consequence of which may be the occurrence of irreparable defects.
Perspectives
A comparison of the simulation results with borrowed reliable experimental data confirmed the adequacy of the results and the acceptable computational complexity of the developed software tool.
