CAE Simulation & Solutions
CAE Simulation & Solutions provides engineering services in terms of FEM, CFD an MBD analyses. Using Nastran, Abaqus and Fluent, a wide range of areospace applications are supported. These include engine components of large aircrafts (IOB, thrust reverser, ...) as well as fuselages of small aircrafts (helicopters and UAV). In addition CAE performs aircraft wing design using CFD analysis.
Technologies and competences
The technologies we use are mainly highly specialised FE analysis using composite structures and evaluation tools to judge composite structures. Moreover, fatigue analysis of both metallic and composite structures are one of the main skills of CAE Simulation & Solutions. More than 30 % of our projects include an FE analysis of shell structures incorporating fatigue life predictions.
