Aerospace and Defense

The challenges faced today by engineers and product managers in the aerospace and defense industries include widely fluctuating fuel and material costs, increasingly complex designs and technological advancements, exacting standards for quality and certification, and globally dispersed supply chains.

More than ever, there is a critical need to identify designs that will create lighter, more efficient vehicles for land, air, sea and space travel. As a leader in engineering analysis and design development, Red Cedar Technology is committed to helping our customers and clients discover innovative designs, faster. Our proprietary optimization strategies allow you to:

  • Automatically and simultaneously explore hundreds of design variables and their relationships in product and process design scenarios.
  • Seek optimal values for sets of parameters that specifically affect performance and cost.
  • Improve any engineering system, including structural, thermal, fluid, acoustic, or electrical.
  • Evolve designs that simultaneously satisfy objectives and meet constraint targets.
