Query-Based Interoperability for Simulation of Composite Structures

We propose to design and implement a query-based approach to interoperable modeling and simulation of composite material structures, that usually contain the manufacturing recipe within their design. In Phase I, we established the feasibility of the approach using a demonstration scenario of CAD/CAE interoperability for assemblies. In Phase II, we propose to develop a series of use-case scenarios for modeling and simulation of as-manufactured material composite structures, and to develop commercial strength software that demonstrates the approach on an actual problem faced by US manufacturers.
