Designing structures fulfilling the most demanding functional requirements, while minimizing their weight, is a major challenge in aerospace design.
Altair OptiStruct is the most complete and powerful structural optimization tool on the market; this explains why it is so widely employed in this industry.
It has shown through several industrial applications how it can help structural engineers:
- To design minimum weight structures meeting design specifications.
- To enhance the concept and pre-design phase.
- To reduce at the same time design time and CAD/CAE iterations.
- To delivery innovating structural layout
Typical aerospace applications are:
- Weight reduction loops
- Load path analysis
- Automatic minimum weight sizing of metal and composite structures
