Abstract: This research aims to provide a multi-step approach to create a virtual analysis to predict the influence of the fiber orientation created after the creation of a reinforcing fiber preform and how it affects the fluid flow in the injection molding process. The created methodology allows its use in technologies such as Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) and the relatively new Thermoplastic Resin Transfer Molding (T-RTM), through which it is possible to foresee potential problems when creating products with these technologies and to eliminate them at an early stage.
