There is described a method of designing a composite component for manufacture using a pre-impregnated uni-directional or woven material; the method comprising: creating a design for a composite component comprising multiple layers of pre-impregnated uni- directional or woven material; defining within the design a division of the design into a plurality of macroscale elements; for each macroscale element, defining a microscale relative volume element, determining model parameters for the microscale representative volume element, and upscalin9the microscale representative volume element to provide a set of model parameters describing the macroscale element; using the set of model parameters for each macroscale element to analyse the design to identify the presence or absence of regions where structures likely to be detrimental to the integrity of the component would be expected to occur when manufacturing a component according to the design; if regions where structures likely to be detrimental to the integrity of the component would be expected to occur are identified, making data describing these regions available to a redesign process. |
