AFP Process Interoperable Digital Twin with permeability predictions

This report presents the progress made in developing advanced simulation capabilities for the Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) and Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) processes, as part of the CAELESTIS project. Key achievements include integrating defect generation probabilities into the AFP process simulation using ADDPath® software, developing an automated workflow to generate permeability Reduced Order Models (ROMs) for RTM simulations, and creating methods to generate synthetic gap and misalignment defect data based on real point cloud data distributions. The report also outlines the data flow and simulation strategies employed. Preliminary results are presented, showcasing the initial stage leading to final simulations on the Fan Outlet Guide Vane (FOGV) use case. Future work will focus on integrating experimental defect data, completing permeability ROM training and validation, exploring additional defect types for synthetic data generation, and conducting refined simulations to enable parametric studies for optimizing the final FOGV design.
