Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for designing composite parts. One embodiment is a method for fabricating a composite part. The method includes receiving a design that defines a stacking sequence for a composite charge comprising plies that have different fiber orientations, defining a splice zone within the design, modifying the design by splicing plies in a manner that accommodates ply slippage when the composite charge is formed to a contour, and fabricating a composite part based on the design that was modified.
