关于客户
空中客车公司是航空航天业的全球领导者,以设计和制造最先进的飞机而闻名。他们致力于减少产品对环境的影响,并高度重视创新和技术来实现这一目标。在本例中,空中客车公司正在设计世界上最大的客机 A380,并希望确保设计尽可能轻量化,同时保持所有性能标准。他们寻求 Altair ProductDesign 的帮助来帮助他们实现这一目标。
挑战
在航空航天工业中,飞机的总重量是一项关键的设计要求,因为仅仅几公斤就可能对燃油效率和二氧化碳排放产生影响。较重的飞机在飞行过程中使用更多的燃料,这导致航空公司的运营成本增加。空中客车公司在设计世界上最大的客机 A380 时,旨在确保设计尽可能轻量化,同时保持所有性能标准。面临的挑战是在不影响性能标准的情况下减轻飞机的重量。
解决方案
Altair ProductDesign 被选中协助 A380 的开发,帮助定义和实施新的优化流程,以消除飞机前缘下垂机翼肋骨的质量。实施了两步设计过程。首先,将一组来自 Airbus 的预定义应力和屈曲载荷引入 Altair 自己的优化技术 OptiStruct。根据这些载荷和机翼组件内可用的设计空间,OptiStruct 的拓扑、尺寸和形状优化技术自动识别翼肋的理想材料布局。在第二阶段,Altair ProductDesign 工程师解释了这些拓扑结果,以开发可制造的结构。研究了 13 个翼肋的每个拓扑结果,并创建了一种新的创新材料布局。

Case Study
Airbus Soars with Wearable Technology
Building an Airbus aircraft involves complex manufacturing processes consisting of thousands of moving parts. Speed and accuracy are critical to business and competitive advantage. Improvements in both would have high impact on Airbus’ bottom line. Airbus wanted to help operators reduce the complexity of assembling cabin seats and decrease the time required to complete this task.

Aircraft Predictive Maintenance and Workflow Optimization
First, aircraft manufacturer have trouble monitoring the health of aircraft systems with health prognostics and deliver predictive maintenance insights. Second, aircraft manufacturer wants a solution that can provide an in-context advisory and align job assignments to match technician experience and expertise.

Aerospace & Defense Case Study Airbus
For the development of its new wide-body aircraft, Airbus needed to ensure quality and consistency across all internal and external stakeholders. Airbus had many challenges including a very aggressive development schedule and the need to ramp up production quickly to satisfy their delivery commitments. The lack of communication extended design time and introduced errors that drove up costs.

Developing Smart Tools for the Airbus Factory
Manufacturing and assembly of aircraft, which involves tens of thousands of steps that must be followed by the operators, and a single mistake in the process could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to fix, makes the room for error very small.

Accelerate Production for Spirit AeroSystems
The manufacture and assembly of massive fuselage assemblies and other large structures generates a river of data. In fact, the bill of materials for a single fuselage alone can be millions of rows of data. In-house production processes and testing, as well as other manufacturers and customers created data flows that overwhelmed previous processes and information systems. Spirit’s customer base had grown substantially since their 2005 divestiture from Boeing, resulting in a $41 billion backlog of orders to fill. To address this backlog, meet increased customer demands and minimize additional capital investment, the company needed a way to improve throughput in the existing operational footprint. Spirit had a requirement from customers to increase fuselage production by 30%. To accomplish this goal, Spirit needed real-time information on its value chain and workflow. However, the two terabytes of data being pulled from their SAP ECC was unmanageable and overloaded their business warehouse. It had become time-consuming and difficult to pull aggregate data, disaggregate it for the needed information and then reassemble to create a report. During the 6-8 hours it took to build a report, another work shift (they run three per day) would have already taken place, thus the report content was out-of-date before it was ever delivered. As a result, supervisors often had to rely on manual efforts to provide charts, reports and analysis.
