Modelling of a fiberwood manufacturing process

Abstract

A model of a fiberwood panel manufacturing process is being developed. This model is developed to re-produce the evolution of unmeasurable variables within the mat (pressure, temperatures), in order to re-produce the operation of the process. For this, the main process (pressing) is modeled in detail to evaluate how energy and matter is transported through the process. Preliminary results demonstrate the possibility of simulating reproduce internal variables throughout the pressing process.
