1. A computer system for generating a composite-structure fabrication design, comprising:
a database for storing data to include analysis templates, material data, and model data; a memory device for storing a computer program; a display device for generating visual images of a plurality of user interfaces; an input device for receiving user selections; and a processor for executing said computer program, said processor being coupled to said database, said memory device, said input device, and said display device, said computer program causing said display device to display a first subset of said user interfaces presenting selection options for said data, said computer program applying said data identified by said selection options corresponding to said user selections to determine a composite structure model, said computer program causing said display device to display a second subset of said user interfaces that illustrates structural components of the composite structure model, wherein said second subset of said user interfaces provides access to ones of said user interfaces specifying fabrication rule options, and wherein fabrication rules are selected from said fabrication rule options via said user selections, said computer program applying said fabrication rules selected to the composite structure model to determine a plurality of candidates for a composite structure fabrication based on the composite structure model, wherein each of said candidates defines a unique ply-by-ply definition of the composite structure fabrication, said computer program causing said display device to display a third subset of said user interfaces that illustrates each said ply-by-ply definition, said computer program performing an optimization routine on said plurality of candidates to select one of said plurality of candidates, and said computer program updating said third subset of said user interfaces to visually indicate said one of said plurality of candidates selected. |
