Abstract:
1. A method for providing ply lay-up data for a composite part, the computer implemented method comprising: receiving a designation of a location for the composite part in a three dimensional object from a requestor; opening a three dimensional model in which the composite part is located; extracting the ply lay-up data for a section within the composite part within the three dimensional model to form extracted ply lay-up data for the section; creating an output file containing a drawing of the composite part overlaid with a grid two dimensional drawing for containing the section and the ply lay-up data identifying a ply stacking sequence, an orientation of each ply in the ply stacking sequence, and a material for the each ply in the ply stacking sequence; and returning the output file to the requestor.
