A New Generation of Lightweight Aircraft
A Practical Method to Meet the Composite Optimisation Challenge
How do you efficiently design composite laminated structures with all of the design options? How do you convert a metal part to a composite part? How do you minimize the weight of your structure?
With the support of Altair ProductDesign, Altair’s virtual simulation tool for structural optimization, OptiStruct, has been aggressively deployed throughout the design process at leading manufacturers including Airbus, Boeing and Eurocopter to drive the development of innovative, lightweight composite design solutions. This combination of expertise and leading technology has achieved results of as much as a 50% reduction in mass of metal and composite aircraft components.
