Analytical Optimisation Software Tool
What are the advantages of using the software tool?
-
Rapid prototyping and development of advanced engineering solutions
-
The software enhances 'rapid prototyping structural analysis' of composite skin-stringer / frame structures
-
These light-weight 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 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 updates the FEM re-run properties.
Implementation of Dynamic Response Damage Tolerance Module of composite stiffened panels allow:
-
Model update of optimisation loop without the use of interface tool
-
Automatic update of the FEM properties for load redistribution re-run
-
Generate detail justification structural analysis reports of the optimised composite structure
