Reducing Aircraft Design Time Using FEA

Reducing Aircraft Design Time Using FEA

What is in this webinar?

In this webinar, we go behind the scenes on our work for the A3 Vahana project. We discuss how FEA can compliment and reduce time in the design process. 

Some ways FEA was used to reduce time:
  1.  Modal analysis. Femap's mass element allowed us to adapt quickly to changes in the propulsion system.
  2. Load Spreading
  3. Data Output and APIs: Nick discusses how he coded an API to reduce a task that could take a week to 45 minutes. He learned to code the API within a day with no prior information.
