Abstract
An article of manufacture may include a tangible, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising: receiving, via the processor, one of a point cloud and a three-dimensional model for an inspected integrally bladed rotor (IBR) and a defect including a defect shape, a defect size, and a defect location; generating, via the processor, a first finite element model and a second finite element model based on the point cloud or the three-dimensional model, the first finite element model and the second finite element model; performing, via the processor, a structural analysis simulation with the first finite element model; performing, via the processor an aerodynamic analysis simulation with the second finite element model; iterating, via the processor, a repaired defect shape based on simulation data from the aerodynamic analysis simulation and the structural analysis simulation; and determining a repair process for the defect based on the iterating.
