Winding process simulations for thermoplastic filaments are important for the component quality. Commercial simulation tools are not available yet. Research institutes are developing different process simulation programs to understand the influences of the material and the process on the component quality. Simulation programs from the CCM (University of Delaware, Center for Composite Materials, USA) and from the IVW (Institut fiir Verbundwerkstoffe GmbH, Germany) are presented hereafter.
