关于客户
[AB]structs 是一家意大利结构设计和工程公司,为先进复合材料和高性能金属合金的轻质结构提供创新的设计解决方案。凭借十多年的国际游艇赛事经验,从美洲杯帆船赛到沃尔沃环球帆船赛等环球帆船赛,[AB]structs 已确立了自己在该领域的领导者地位。除了游艇赛车行业外,[AB]structs 还为航空航天行业和赛车开发团队提供服务。该公司目前专注于为2013年第34届美洲杯帆船赛进行Artemis Racing AC72双体船和船翼的结构设计。
挑战
意大利结构设计和工程公司 [AB]structs 的工程师面临着在预设时间内开发三艘结构优化但独特的竞赛游艇的挑战。这些游艇将用于 2011 年至 2012 年的沃尔沃环球帆船赛。沃尔沃 Open70 Box Rule 使这一挑战变得更加复杂,该规则为游艇设定了具体参数,例如龙骨重量在 6.0-7.4 吨之间,游艇的总测量重量不低于 14 吨。每个团队都需要 [AB] 结构的不同解决方案,突破设计极限并要求创新和高效的解决方案。
解决方案
为了满足三个专业团队的需求,[AB]structs 工程师在成功游艇的开发中使用了多种 HyperWorks 工具。 HyperWorks 具有模拟复杂碳复合材料层压序列的能力,对于该项目特别有用,因为 VO70 游艇完全由碳复合材料设计和建造。工程师使用 HyperMesh 创建有限元模型,使用 OptiStruct 进行优化,使用 RADIOSS 求解器进行线性和非线性分析,并使用 HyperView 对结果进行后处理。这些工具被广泛用于设计和优化所有三艘沃尔沃 Open 70 游艇的碳结构,从而对参加 2008 年沃尔沃环球帆船赛的老一代游艇进行了根本性的结构改进。

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.
Case Study
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.
Case Study
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.
Case Study
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.
