    摘要: A part analysis tool is used to analyze aspects of a composite part. The part analysis tool includes a verification control unit that compares numerical control data used to control operation of a forming system that is used to form the composite part to computer-aided design (CAD) data that includes an authoritative part definition for the composite part. The verification control unit determines whether the numerical control data is within one or more conformance thresholds related to the CAD data. The part analysis tool may also include an inspection control unit that compares inspection data of one or more plies of the composite part to the CAD data. The inspection control unit determines whether the inspection data is within the conformance threshold(s) related to the CAD data.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method is disclosed that is usable during production of an assembly using at least a first machine tool. The method comprises retrieving a predetermined production plan for the assembly, wherein the predetermined production plan comprises a plurality of operations using the first machine tool; acquiring input data to determine a production deviation from the predetermined production plan; determining, responsive to determining the production deviation, a modified production plan for the assembly by substituting one or more substitute operations for one or more of the plurality of operations of the predetermined production plan; and transmitting instructions to the first machine tool corresponding to the one or more substitute operations of the modified production plan.
