This work describes a method of a numerical simulation for modeling the forming process of CFRP laminates, which are manufactured by the Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) process. In the simulation a material model is applied, which allows the representation of the complex forming behavior of the laminates. For determining the required material parameters, this work presents the appropriate material characterization. Subsequently the simulation model is validated and finally transferred on a representative use case.
