Composite Curing Simulation

This is the master routing skill for composite material curing simulation. It provides an overview and routes to specialized sub-skills for each aspect of the workflow.

When to Invoke

• User requests composite curing simulation with mold
• User mentions "固化仿真", "脱模回弹", "模具", "铺层"
• User wants to change ply angles or ply count in a curing model
• User needs to run Abaqus with UMAT for composite materials
• User provides a reference INP with mold/contact/temperature and wants to replicate it

Critical: Mold Constraint vs No-Mold Constraint

This is the most important distinction in the curing model. Using the wrong constraint type produces physically incorrect results.

P8_mold (Correct — With Mold Contact + Demolding)

The correct model includes a TOOL part, friction contact pairs, and Model Change demolding in the sp step. This produces asymmetric springback deformation reflecting real physics.
