The COMPRO Common Component Architecture (CCA) is a set of tools that allows interoperability between various pre-processors, post-processors, finite element engines and the COMPRO process modelling engine (see Figure 1). In practice, this means that process modelling of composite materials can be performed with commercial finite element codes such as ABAQUS, ANSYS, or NASTRAN [1]. As of this writing, only ABAQUS and MSC.Marc are supported, but other codes will be supported based on customer demand.
