End-to-End Virtual Prototyping for Aeronautics
Our customers in aeronautics and aerospace sectors face the challenge of designing ever more sophisticated aircraft and spacecraft while controling cost and time.
ESI's extensive suite of software addresses various disciplines at the heart of aircraft and spacecraft conception:
- Design and optimization of internal and external airflows improve comfort and aerodynamic performance.
- Vibro-acoustics simulation contributes to secure the vibration sustainability of satellites to be launched or to improve noise comfort of passenger airplanes.
-
In addition, ESI is greatly involved in the manufacturing simulation of high performance composites-based parts which are now more and more adopted for lower fuel consumption and peformance-efficient planes.
Aircraft Manufacturing Simulation
Aluminium D-profile rubber-pad forming with springback compensation
Manufacturers of aircraft and aircraft components can benefit from advanced numerical simulation to deliver high precision components with fewer defects, higher feature integration, and with lower material volume. ESI's experts can show you how applying simulation of the critical casting, material forming, and composite manufacturing processes at the design stage can eliminate unexpected consequences, deliver innovation, and improve profits.

“We have found Weld Planner impressive due to the time taken to preform the analysis, the quality of results produced and the flexibility it offered in the early design cycle. Weld Planner enabled an investigation of the fabrication route to be integrated with the thermo-mechanical design stages of the assembly.” Scott Wood, Mechanical Engineer - Advanced Engineering, Transmissions, Structures & Drives, Rolls-Royce. |

“The composite simulation solution from ESI Group is very attractive to us. The Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) process will have a good future in China. As ESI Group has such a wide scope of composite simulation solutions, I am confident that ESI’s solutions will benefit BIAM and LAC, and will leverage China’s aeronautics composite simulation level.”
Dr. Yi Xiaosu, Director of the Science Technology Committee at Beijing Institute of Aeronautical Materials.
