The simulation incorporates material orientation considerations, linking the process simulation with structural simulation. Subsequently, stress and strain values from the simulations are compared with the test results. Moreover, the fracture behavior of components manufactured in this way is also taken into account in relation to material orientation. The executed simulations have yielded successful outcomes, affirming the efficacy of the anisotropic and elastoplastic simulation across all strand orientations. Special attention is paid to the application of the method. Here, the simulation method introduced in this contribution with the approaches for describing the material behavior under mechanical load can be used in the future in the dimensioning of FFF manufactured plastic components to predict the deformation behavior and failure, especially under consideration of a well economic and efficient virtual product development.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym16091234","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,29]],"date-time":"2024-04-29T04:26:16Z","timestamp":1714364776000},"page":"1234","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Simulating Elastoplastic and Anisotropic Behavior in Thermoplastic Additively Manufactured Components: An Application-Oriented Modeling Approach"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9678-7124","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fabian","family":"Ferrano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science, Aalen University, Beethovenstr. 1, 73430 Aalen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8879-9272","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miranda","family":"Fateri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science, Aalen University, Beethovenstr. 1, 73430 Aalen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4005-7354","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Markus","family":"Merkel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science, Aalen University, Beethovenstr. 1, 73430 Aalen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jan","family":"Hertel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science, Aalen University, Beethovenstr. 1, 73430 Aalen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"172","DOI":"10.1016\/j.compositesb.2018.02.012","article-title":"Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing): A review of materials, methods, applications and challenges","volume":"143","author":"Ngo","year":"2018","journal-title":"Compos.
