The aerospace industry has always struggled to maintain profitability and competitiveness, and today is no exception. Aerospace companies are under pressure to build more efficient, quieter, and “greener” aircraft, space vehicles, propulsion units, etc. Furthermore, these demands are against the backdrop of stricter regulations, higher material costs, higher fuel costs, more demanding customers, and a faster time to market. Using simulation software as part of their development process, aerospace manufacturing companies and suppliers can evaluate designs and predict product performance, reducing the number of costly and time-consuming physical prototypes in the first stage of the design cycle. With its wide range of functionalities, high performance, and delivery as software as a service (SaaS), SimScale is being used by original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and aerospace companies all over the world.

Several applications for Aerospace simulations:

  • Aerodynamic performance of the airframe
  • Landing gear
  • High-lift wing design
  • Passenger comfort improvements
  • Fuel tank design

Better product development with simulation.
