We’ve been involved with the development of many composite structures across a variety of mission-critical industries from aerospace and satellite, through to consumer goods ranging from wheelchairs to bicycles.
Good composite design will involve tailoring the structural characteristics to a product’s loading environment. While this approach can be hugely beneficial, often in terms of minimising mass and production cost, an FEA-based development strategy can be very labour intensive due to the number of input parameters, and volume of result data involved.
Here’s a 2-minute summary of our approach for composite FEA and optimisation with MSC Apex to support an MSC Nastran SOL200 workflow.
Here’s the full 30-minute presentation, which describes the workflow in more detail.
