    Composite Structure Optimisation Methedology

    Hi SWComposites I am not sure tha'ts the correct approach in my current situation. I have calculated the ultimate load cases of the fuselage and have frozen baseline for it that i just need to be just need to be below failure. The fuselage has a complicated aerodynamic shape with several...
