b3p

b3p is a blade modelling toolset maintained by blade3.
It is designed with the following targets in mind:

  • Creating production-ready blade models with smooth geometry and full laminate plan detail
  • Compact parameterisation of laminate plans
  • Meshing/draping robustness to allow optimization with geometry and laminate parameters
  • Integration with state of the art open source solvers

Currently b3p is in a basic but working state, where beam properties can be extracted using anba_v4 and 3D solutions can be created using calculix.

We work with commercial and academic partners on the following topics:

  • Validation of outputs using (commercial) solvers
  • Integrating additional solvers (like code_aster)
