Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving damage information by a user interface device and quantifying at least one parameter of the damage. A structural analysis is performed to determine a damage allowability based on the parameter. An output result of the structural analysis is displayed from the user interface device. The system includes a compliance system having a database of structural information relating to the structure. A computer enabled user interface device is coupled to the compliance system. The user interface device includes a processor configured to access the structural information and display a location of the damage based on the structural information. The processor is configured to quantify at least one parameter of the damage. The processor is further configured to perform a structural analysis to determine a damage allowability based on the parameter and display a maintenance instruction based on the damage allowability.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for providing ply lay-up data for a composite part. A designation of a location is received for the composite part in a three dimensional object from a requester. A three dimensional model is opened in which the composite part is located. The ply lay-up data is extracted for a section within the composite part within the three dimensional model to form extracted ply lay-up data for the section. An output file is created containing a two dimensional drawing for the section with 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. The output file is returned to the requester.
