Abstract
Autodesk Moldflow Simulation Insights has been used to predict the fibre orientation within
notched specimen injection mouldings. Currently available fibre orientation models including
the classis Folgar-Tucker (FT), the modified version of Folgar-Tucker (MFT) and the
Reduced Strain Closure (RSC) [1] have been assessed, alongside the relative effects of their
associated parameters, for their suitability for fibre orientation prediction. Compared to
experimentally determined values the Reduced Strain Closure model was shown to most
closely represent the fibre orientation within the moulded components.
