关于客户
École de Technologie Supérieure (ÉTS) 成立于 1974 年,是魁北克大学网络的一部分,也是加拿大最大的工程学院之一。它位于蒙特利尔市中心,拥有 7000 多名学生,学习多个项目,涵盖行业的所有主要部分。 Rafale 团队是 ÉTS 内的一个团队,由航空航天工程师、教职员工和学生组成。他们接受了雄心勃勃的挑战,设计、建造了一艘 C 级双体船并参加“小美洲杯”比赛。该团队于 2014 年 12 月开始建造这艘双体船,并于 2015 年 7 月中旬完成建造阶段。
挑战
高等理工学院 (ÉTS) 阵风队由一群航空航天工程师、教师和学生组成,他们面临着设计、建造一艘 C 级双体船并参加“小美洲杯”比赛的挑战。比赛规则规定,双体船的长度必须小于25英尺,最大宽度为14英尺,航行面积小于300平方英尺。这提出了重大挑战,因为双体船需要在不到 18 个月的时间内建造完成。尽管水翼的表面积不到两平方英尺,但仍需要能够将整艘船及其两名船员升出水面。刚性翼帆中心的 30 英尺桅杆可承受近 4000 磅的压力,而重量不到 30 磅。该团队需要推动创新并使用尽可能最好的材料来满足这些要求。
解决方案
为了应对这一挑战,阵风战队利用了 Altair 的 OptiStruct 及其复合优化流程。 OptiStruct 使团队能够快速循环进行多个设计迭代,同时考虑到需求和制造限制。所有主要部件,包括横梁、水翼和水翼舵,都受益于这种设计方法。每个组件都经过三相层压复合材料设计优化过程。高水平的自动化和 OptiStruct 直接导入、优化和导出复合数据的能力帮助团队大大缩短了迭代之间的周转时间。这使得我们能够探索各种选择来满足激进的体重目标。最终设计是一艘采用全碳纤维复合材料设计的双体船,包括 45 英尺高、300 平方英尺的刚性翼帆和水翼。

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.
