Abstract:
This document addresses the first portion of an informational needs analysis for composites parts. A sample part set of Aircraft Composite Structural Components is described with the supporting life-cycle functional activities node trees. An attempt was made to standardize a set of terminology and informational constructs so that a FrameworkBuilding-Block FWBB approach could be established which would organize and capture the information into a usablereusable structure. The sample part set was then mapped to the FWBB structure identifying what was in and out of scope for the PDES Application Protocol Suite for Composites PAS-C project. There have been many attempts to analyze the needs of composites parts, in particular, the informational needs that support data exchange of composite data between life-cycle applications. The challenge has been to scope the needs gathering process into a structured, achievable task that provides usablereusable knowledge. Most previous composite needs analysis have been focused on a narrow application view or particular part type which has limited the reusability of the information. What has been lacking is a methodology that allows for the informational needs of all aspects of composite parts to be captured. This methodology requires an approach that managers and utilizes existing needs gathering methods to capture existing composite needs analysis work. The difficulty in establishing this methodology is the required standardization of terminology and informational constructs throughout industry.
