Aerospace

The aerospace industry continues to grow despite a rapidly fluctuating business landscape and increasing fuel and material prices. The benefits to the end user must also be balanced with the interests of the manufacturer, which typically include reducing weight and increasing fuel efficiency. The resulting designs are multidisciplinary and involve pinpoint tradeoffs in performance that are feasible in the face of variable structural loads, thermal environments, and atmospheric conditions.

How can these multiple interests and disciplines be integrated and simultaneously lower the cost and duration of your design process? Red Cedar Technology’s HEEDS optimization software is the answer.

For over a decade, HEEDS has led aerospace designers and engineers to develop innovative, standard-setting designs. HEEDS MDO is a powerful, multidisciplinary optimization tool that works with your current simulation tools to automatically discover optimum designs based on your constraints and performance requirements. The solutions HEEDS discovers for aerospace problems have increased safety, performance, efficiency, and fuel economy while also reducing mass and noise. With HEEDS, you will automatically optimize structures and systems to more effectively distribute static and dynamic loads.

HEEDS MDO has been used to evolve better designs for the following components and sub-systems:

Engine Components
Laminate Structures
Composite Wings
Landing Gear
Improved Airfoil Profiles
Sensors
Fuselage Structures
Composite Joint Layup

Growth-oriented companies realize that economic and industry specific challenges represent opportunities to excel, leap ahead of the competition, and become market leaders. They leverage the strengths of HEEDS to achieve optimum designs prior to the test phase, eliminate rework, minimize the need for physical tests, and lower their cost structure in the process.
