Abstract
A method of analyzing computed tomography data according to an example embodiment of the present disclosure includes obtaining computed tomography (CT) data for a component, fitting an interpolant function to the CT data, and creating a mesh of a surface that extends through the component. The surface is arbitrary and non-planar. The method also includes querying the interpolant function at a plurality of points of the mesh to project the CT data onto the mesh, calculating a metric of the component based on the querying, and providing a notification of the metric. A system for computed tomography analysis is also disclosed. A method of analyzing computed tomography data for a component of a gas turbine engine that includes calculating a void area fraction is also disclosed.
