Abstract: This paper introduces flow patterns, flow models and numerical simulation methods of mold filling in RTM. We also discuss necessary hypothesis, boundary conditions and numerical computation methods in different simulation cases. Furthermore, RTM simulation software is presented and further work is pointed out.

Key words: RTM, molding filling, numerical simulation, finite element method
