Zusammenfassung:A method of determining tow path surfaces associated with manufacturing a composite ply includes computing, from an initial tow path surface, a projected tow path surface corresponding to a projection of the initial tow path surface (426) onto a layup surface (202). The method also includes determining, for particular start and end points (192, 194), edge lengths of opposing sides of the projected tow path surface. The method further includes comparing a difference between the edge lengths of the opposing sides to a threshold (168), to determine if the amount of curvature along the projected tow path surface (426) is acceptable.
