Abstract

Modern multidisciplinary computational tools are required in order to model complex manufacturing processes. The liquid composite molding process, namely resin transfer molding (RTM) for the manufacture of composite material structures, includes models for fluid flow, heat transfer, and stress analysis during the process. In the past, these tools were developed independently, and an engineer would utilize each tool in succession, often in different environments with different data file formats, graphical user interfaces (if available), and sometimes different computer operating systems. The Simple Parallel Object-Oriented Computing Environment for the Finite Element Method (SPOOCEFEM) developed at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory provides a framework for development of multidisciplinary computational tools. A virtual manufacturing environment for the RTM process has been developed that integrates the coupled, multiphysics, multiscale physical models required for analyzing the manufacturing process. The associated code developments using SPOOCEFEM are discussed in this paper.
