Hi all. Is it possible in material design to create a composite of randomly shaped particles, such as chip flakes. To have a matrix and chip flakes? Thank you.

Hi,

Please see if the following link helps you: How to Simulate and Design the Microstructures of Composites | Ansys

You did not understand me! I know all these courses. That's why I'm asking, is it possible to make a composite from a polymer and wound broken particles such as metal shavings?

Hello,

You can have random spherical particles (both size and position) using the “Random Particle” RVE:

 

Or, if you need different particle shapes, you can try creating your own RVE using the User Defined RVE:

 

 

You will find more information about User Defined RVE in the help:

Let me know how it goes.

 

Reno.

but you cannot create your own particle geometry or import another one there

Hello,

Why not? With a User Defined RVE, you can create your own geometry.

I also thought so, but there are no tools for drawing and you can’t import geometry
