COMPRO 2D is the full feature, release version of the COMPRO line: a 2D, plane-strain composites processing analysis and design software with a user friendly Windows interface. The core of COMPRO 2D is the COMPRO engine, a coupled thermochemical-stress-flow solution with a dynamic autoclave controller simulation. COMPRO 2D is the complete virtual autoclave, equipped with powerful capabilities enabling you to consider the following process parameters in your models:

Heat Transfer / Autoclave Characteristics Resin Cure Kinetics Multidirectional Laminates / Fabrics Honeycomb Panels Thermal Expansion / Resin Cure Shrinkage Tool-Part interaction

COMPRO can write output suitable for importing into MS EXCEL and for TECPLOT, a popular scientific visualization software. COMPRO outputs include:

	Tool and Part Temperature Evolution of Material Properties including Degree of Cure, Modulus and Tg Resin Viscosity / Resin Flow Fibre Volume Fraction / Part Thickness Residual Stress Development Final part shape

COMPRO 2D has several features which enable you to generate models efficiently. These include:

	Realistic lead-lag autoclave controller Several material models Material properties database Support for user defined material models Basic mesh generator included

quasi 3D analyses

While the current full release version of COMPRO is a 2D plane strain code, it is possible to perform quasi 3D anayses using COMPRO in concert with other structural FE codes. For more information on this technique consult the following case studies and publications or contact Convergent directly.
