I request support on FEA Analysis method on Menzolit SMC 0400 (https://menzolit.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Menzolit-S-PI-SMC-0400-en.pdf).

Glass Fiber Content is 27%.

Menzolit SMC 0400 is a sheet moulding compound based on unsaturated polyester resin. The product is glass fibre reinforced and contains mineral fillers.

The material is compression moulded in heated steel moulds.

I am simulating below tests and trying to corelate it with available test data.
a. Tension Test as per ISO_8256_Type_3 specimen
b. Flexural test as per ASTM_D790

The plastic card developed as per Tension Test is able to correlate the stress strain curve for Tension tes (which was obvious).
But when the same card is used for flexural test the the deviation of the force - displacement curve is higher in that situation.
