Modelling of UAV's composite structures and prediction of safety factor

The paper presents possibilities of composite materials modeling using SolidWorks enviroment on example of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle wing structure. Mechanical properties of composite materials used in UAV's and process of modeling such structures in SolidWorks are described. The research problem is CFD and strenght analysis of considered structure in SolidWorks Flow Simulation. Different displacement, stresses and safety factors values were obtained for analysed types of loads. The presented approach was used to develop aircraft wing for Air Challenge 2015 competition.
