Abstract
A method and system for fabrication of composite parts with tools determines a layout pattern within an autoclave based upon the heating variance of the autoclave and the thermal performance of each selected tool. The layout pattern can provide for production goals such as minimizing processing time for a given selection of tools in an autoclave. The layout pattern is displayed with an easy to use graphical user interface or through a printout that allows an autoclave operator to quickly and efficiently determine an optimal loading pattern and load an autoclave accordingly.
