Incorporating Environmental Issues in a Filament Winding Composite Manufacturing System Simulation

This paper presents SimBuilder, a simulation system incorporating environmental and quality concerns into a traditional manufacturing simulation environment. These simulations can be used to generate a complete material balance around a particular manufacturing process and can be made available to design engineers to aid in life cycle design assessments. An example developed for the filament-winding composite manufacturing industry is presented.
