AUTOMATED LAMINATE COMPOSITE SOLID PLY GENERATION

摘要

A method for creating a laminate design geometry for a composite component according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, defining a spatial volume of a solid defined between a plurality of external surface boundaries, defining an offset boundary spaced by an offset value from one of the plurality of external surface boundaries to define a region in which a ply is to be received, defining a partitioning boundary dividing the region into a ply portion and a resin portion; and repeating the steps of defining an offset boundary and defining a partitioning boundary by defining an offset boundary from any one of the plurality of external surface boundaries and the offset boundary in a previous iteration of defining an offset boundary.
