Processing parameters for composites are predicted by new models which are based on the microstructure of the composite. Three types of termoplastic prepregs are considered, ICI tape, BASE commingled two, and CCMI powder coated tow. The permeability of the composites depends on their fiber distribution. The elastic behavior of the fiber network compression depends on the fiber oreientation. These two are integrated to predict the processing parameters.
