Title:
STIFFNESS AND STRENGTH -BAS ED CONCURRENT SHAPE AND FIBER PATH OPTIMIZATION OF CONTINUOUS FIBER COMPOSITES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/073152
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method of optimizing a computer model including a shape and a fiber path for a continuous fiber composite can include initializing a fixed finite element mesh. The method can also include creating an updated version of the shape and the fiber path by iterating updates of the shape and the fiber path using the fixed finite element mesh. The method can also include initializing an adapted finite element mesh on the updated version of the shape and the fiber path. The method can also include creating an optimized version of the shape and the fiber path by iterating optimizations of the shape and the fiber path using the adapted finite element mesh. The method can also include generating a specified design of the continuous fiber composite using the optimized version of the shape and the fiber path.
