SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VALIDATING AND INSPECTING COMPOSITE PARTS

A part analysis tool (104) is used to analyze aspects of a composite part (110). The part analysis tool (104) includes a verification control unit (118) that compares numerical control data used to control operation of a forming system (108) that is used to form the composite part (110) to computer-...

Zusammenfassung:A part analysis tool (104) is used to analyze aspects of a composite part (110). The part analysis tool (104) includes a verification control unit (118) that compares numerical control data used to control operation of a forming system (108) that is used to form the composite part (110) to computer-aided design (CAD) data that includes an authoritative part definition for the composite part (110). The verification control unit (118) determines whether the numerical control data is within one or more conformance thresholds related to the CAD data. The part analysis tool (104) may also include an inspection control unit (120) that compares inspection data of one or more plies (112) of the composite part (110) to the CAD data. The inspection control unit (120) determines whether the inspection data is within the conformance threshold(s) related to the CAD data.
