Intelligent Analysis

Objectives

• Automation of structural analysis to allow rapid delivery of results

Project Scope

• Creation of templated analysis methodology to support analysis of families of similar components
• Design optimisation to allow minimisation of component mass by automatic iterative modification of design parameters while respecting stress limits
• Use of parametric analysis models to allow different configurations to be defined by one robust parametric model, allowing for rapid configuration change and analysis update

Example –Parametric Spar Lifting Equipment Model

• Lifting equipment for manipulation and movement of wing spars
• Parametric lifting beam model created
• Associated analysis of deflection and stress
• Fast modification of 6 different beam designs for various lifting applications
• Provides consistency across each application
