关于客户
ABstructs 是一家为先进复合材料和高性能金属合金的轻质结构提供创新设计解决方案的公司。 AB Structures 拥有十多年在国际游艇赛事最高水平领域运营的经验,参与了从美洲杯帆船赛到沃尔沃环球帆船赛等著名赛事。除了游艇竞赛行业外,ABstructs 还为航空航天行业和赛车开发团队提供服务。该公司遵循从项目简介到概念开发和产品交付的优化轻量级方法。
挑战
ABstructs 是一家专门从事轻质结构创新设计解决方案的公司,其任务是在 2009 年沃尔沃环球帆船赛的预设时间内开发一艘结构优化的竞赛游艇。沃尔沃 Open70 严格的边界条件使这一挑战变得更加复杂。该规则规定龙骨重量在6.0-7.4吨之间,游艇总重接近14吨等参数。该公司需要设计和优化游艇的碳结构,以便与参加 2004 年沃尔沃环球帆船赛的老一代游艇相比,实现根本性的结构改进。
解决方案
ABstructs 采用 CAE 套件 HyperWorks 对游艇进行结构设计和优化。该解决方案涉及完整的结构设计和结构多层优化,通过使用尖端 CAE 技术最大限度地提高强度、刚度和最小重量等性能。这包括优化游艇所有结构相关部件,例如龙骨鳍部分、倾斜机构和相关结构。应用先进的优化概念来简化复合材料层压板的设计过程。该解决方案还涉及确定设计过程中涉及的三个关键阶段,并将它们与各种优化技术结合起来。自由尺寸优化的应用允许综合利用复合结构的所有潜力的概念。通过针对设计性能和制造要求应用详细的层尺寸优化,对概念阶段生成的层尺寸进行了微调。

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.

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.
