Solutions for aerospace simulation

Overview

Aerospace companies are forced to reduce production costs and increase production rates. At the same time, projects are becoming more complex, and employees need new mechanisms for knowledge transfer.

SIMULIA solutions for the aerospace industry enable you to solve complex problems and create accurate designs based on multiscale and multiphysics simulation. Using simulation early in the design process helps reduce development time, lower physical testing costs, and reduce the risk of non-compliance with certification requirements.

Structural analysis can be performed at multiple levels of model accuracy with instantaneous load transfer. During the concept development phase, interdisciplinary exchange analysis can be performed to optimize the design according to various requirements. Enhanced aerodynamic analysis capabilities extend the use of computational fluid dynamics and explore the full range of flight conditions, reducing wind tunnel testing costs. It is also possible to accurately simulate the overall noise level for a new aircraft, which is another step towards digital noise certification. Our powerful EM solvers enable rapid antenna prototyping and reliability for all communication systems.

Structural verification at the subsystem level

  • During aircraft certification, compliance with strength requirements must be verified. To successfully meet certification requirements at all stages of development, SIMULIA offers scalable and highly accurate structural verification technologies. Structural verification technology integrated into the Dassault Systèmes 3D EXPERIENCE platform significantly improves design efficiency.

Aviation noise

  • Because aircraft must comply with strict local noise and environmental regulations, it is important to understand how aviation noise is generated and how it is perceived on the ground. With SIMULIA solutions for hydrodynamic analysis, engineers can identify noise sources and reduce noise in realistic flight simulations early in the design process. This reduces the cost of physical prototyping and certification.

Electromagnetic compatibility of aerospace systems

  • Effective electromagnetic interference protection and more robust components are needed to protect aircraft and spacecraft from electromagnetic phenomena such as lightning, HIRF, and EMI. Accurate electromagnetic modeling enables the design of reliable products and a better understanding of the effects of electromagnetic radiation. This reduces the need for physical testing and shortens certification times.

Aircraft Structural Vulnerability Analysis

  • The ability to continue flying safely after accidental collisions, such as bird strikes, is a key requirement for aircraft certification. Demonstrating this capability through physical testing is costly. However, you can reduce costs by accurately simulating vulnerabilities much earlier in the design process using the SIMULIA solver. This built-in capability of the 3D EXPERIENCE platform is available for all projects.
