Abstract
The draping of glass fiber fabric in a wind turbine blade mold is analyzed and optimized. Unlike for smaller composite parts, the size of the blade mold section necessitates multiple courses, i.e. roll-widths of fabric. The overarching goal is thus to determine the optimal placement of these courses under considerations of producibility and structural performance. The preliminary results presented here show a reduction of shear angles of 61% compared to a baseline design
