Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for generating a nondestructive inspection model are provided, where such methods, systems and computer readable media are particularly suitable for use with aerospace parts or components. The method can include occurring at a computing platform with a memory and a processor, and analyzing, by the processor, a design model file stored in the memory to determine one or more properties of a composite part, the design model file describing one or more physical characteristics of the composite part. The method also can include generating, by the processor, a non-destructive inspection model for the composite part based on the one or more properties of the composite part determined by analyzing the design model file.

Abstract: A computer aided method is provided for coupling non-destructive inspection data for a material or structure to an analysis tool. The method includes receiving a voxel data representation of a damaged area of the material or structure, and generating a finite element mesh based on the voxel data representation. The finite element mesh includes a plurality of nodes, each node corresponding to one or more voxels of the voxel data representation. The method further includes integrating damage information from the voxel data representation into the finite element mesh by applying at least one integration rule, the damage information indicating whether or not a given voxel has sustained damage. Damage information for areas of the finite element mesh that do not include damage information is interpolated by applying at least one interpolation rule. A finite element model including a finite element mesh having damage information associated therewith is output.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for generating a non-destructive inspection model for a composite part from a design model of the composite part are provided where such methods, systems and computer readable media are particularly suitable for use, for example and without limitation, with aerospace parts or components. The subject matter described herein can in one aspect include a method including steps occurring at a computing platform with a memory and a processor. The steps can include analyzing, by the processor, a design model file stored in the memory to determine one or more properties of a composite part, the design model file describing one or more physical characteristics of the composite part. The steps also can include generating, by the processor, a non-destructive inspection model for the composite part based on the one or more properties of the composite part determined by analyzing the design model file.
