   iVABS (namely integrated VABS), is a design framework for composite slender structures (also called composite beams) such as helicopter rotor blades, wind turbine blades, high aspect ratio wings, bridges, shafts, etc. This framework bundles PreVABS, VABS, GEBT, Dakota, along with msgpi for...

2. HyperSizer for Composites: Insanely Fast Laminate Optimization

   out of 5 stars 

   31 Mar 2015

   95% of users, without user manual, and without instruction, will be able to import their FEM and produce optimum composites laminates that satisfy all analyses to all load cases within the first 10 minutes. Your automatically updated model will have minimum weight and fully producible laminates...

3. The Integration of Composite Constituent-Level Failure Models During Composite Size Optimization
