Initial degree of cure overview (Simcenter Samcef Thermal)

In a Simcenter Samcef Heat Transfer thermal analysis, you can perform the curing analysis of thermoset composites.

You can define the Initial Degree of Cure at the solving initial time if you define curing reaction data in the Curing Reaction page of the Samcef Curing Thermal material of your model. The Initial Degree of Cure value is defined in the [0, 1] range.

For more details, see Curing of thermoset composites (Simcenter Samcef) and Initial Degree of Cure dialog box (Simcenter Samcef).
