Large-Scale, End-to-End Process Modeling and Simulation Environment for Composite Materials Manufacturing and Testing

摘要

Army systems and components are being designed and constructed to fulfill mission requirements for the Future Force and for Future Combat Systems (FCS). In many cases, these systems will utilize complex composite structures as core components. This paper discusses a modeling and simulation environment focused on composites acquisition from part design to testing. Also discussed is the computational environment that has been designed to quickly field these and related simulation codes.
