Modeling Cure Behavior in Abaqus

Why Curing Matters 

Simulating the curing behavior of adhesives and thermosetting composites is essential for accurately predicting residual stresses, thermal distortions, and mechanical performance in real-world components. From electronics to aerospace, understanding the cure process enables engineers to optimize manufacturing cycles and avoid structural failures caused by improper curing. 

This session builds on industry-backed workflows and research to demonstrate how Abaqus handles curing kinetics, viscoelastic evolution, heat generation, shrinkage, and shape distortion, through fully coupled thermo-mechanical analyses.
