Motivated by performance and sustainability demands – in addition to constant pressure to reduce cost and time from programs – aerospace and defense companies are increasingly exploring new designs, composite materials, and alternative production methods. While new approaches lead to more innovative products in the marketplace, speed could suffer without the right tools and processes.
By introducing convergent modeling and topology optimization software to the process, development teams can rapidly generate designs and explore alternatives to bolster strength, reduce weight, or incorporate new materials and manufacturing methods. Those optimized designs can then be validated without countless build and break cycles and late changes after the handover to production. Leveraging the cloud-based services of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, teams can take advantage of these features at any time from anywhere.
