Analytical Optimisation Software Tool

Development of Analytical Optimisation T

What are the advantages of using the software tool?

Rapid prototyping and development of practical engineering solutions
The software enhances the 'rapid prototyping structural analysis' of composite skin-stringer / frame structures.
These lightweight structural configurations are found in the space, aerospace, marine, and green energy sectors.
The software tool can be used as:
- Prototyping and pre-sizing tool
- Sizing and optimisation tool
It interfaces with 'Finite Element Models (FEM)
It analyses multiple structural modes in Plain Strength, local & global stabilities, and damage tolerance.

What does an optimisation tool do, and why use it?

It analyses composite structures applicable to the Air, Space, marine, and green energy sectors.
The current engineering process requires a large number of iterations of geometry and load redistribution updates.
The software tool reduces these iterations to an absolute minimum, saving time and cost.
The software tool fits between FEM & AFP software products shown below:

How does Aero Optimal's Engineering process work?

How does the Software Tool interfaces with Industry FEM?

Aero Optimal's Analytical Optimisation software tool interfaces with the Industry Standard FEM (MSc Nastran/Patran) software package via an Excel-based interface tool to update the FEM re-run properties.

Implementation of Dynamic Response Damage Tolerance Module of composite stiffened panels allows:

Model update of optimisation loop without the use of interface tool
Automatic update of the FEM properties for load redistribution re-run
Generate detailed justification structural analysis reports of the optimised composite structure
