Simulation and Design of Aircraft Engines

Jet engine design software – whether for turbofan, turboprop, or turboshaft engines – must meet today’s evolving demands. Aerospace firms face tight regulations and safety standards, variable operating conditions, and pressure to shorten design cycle times to contain costs.

Integrated software solutions help aero engine design engineers optimize designs quickly and leverage model-based systems engineering (MBSE) for more efficient production.

Fuel efficiency, thrust, emission control, thermal management, and time to market are just some of the challenges that aero engine companies can address with a robust and comprehensive digital thread.

Discover greater innovation and performance with software solutions for whole-engine modeling, 3D multiphysics simulation, 1D flow modeling, and correlating simulation data to test measurements.

Autonomous Vehicles and Drones for Urban Mobility

The rise of distributed electric propulsion systems, urban road congestion, and a pilot shortage are all driving urban mobility innovations.

Successful e-mobility solutions, including urban air mobility and autonomous aircraft, depend on integrating thermal and energy management, mechatronics, and a comprehensive digital thread across the product lifecycle from design to smart manufacturing to flight operations.

Electrification of Aviation

Exploring green solutions for transportation is accelerating aircraft engine electrification and hybrid-electric propulsion systems for aircraft. But manufacturers have hurdles to overcome. Beyond managing increasing complexity and needing to certify newly introduced concepts, thermal management is a frequent challenge.

Multiphysics system simulation is central to the performance engineering of hybrid electric propulsion. It’s also ideal for the dynamic simulation of hybrid engines for helicopters and other rotor craft. Meanwhile, solutions for thermal and structural analysis reduce risk and provide virtual validation of electric drive design and battery design.
