Case Study: Integrating Systems Modeling with Simulation Helps Ensure Robust Space Debris Removal

The European Space Agency (ESA) is studying an active debris removal mission called e.Deorbit which is intended to capture an ESA-owned derelict satellite in low orbit and safely crash it into the ocean in a controlled atmospheric reentry. The Airbus Defence & Space proposal for this project used Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) to simultaneously define the mission requirements and the architectures. In a parallel internal study, Airbus DS engineers used ModelCenter Integrate and MBSEPak to integrate the simulation tools used to evaluate the performance of the architecture with the system model.

Case Study: Multilevel Optimization with ModelCenter® Reduces Cost of Building Wind Farm by Almost $4 Million

The Bobcat Bluff Wind Project, located in Archer City, Texas consists of 100 GE 1.5 MW turbines capable of producing up to 150 MW of electrical power. The turbines were positioned without considering construction costs, resulting in higher than necessary construction costs. Stanford University consultants used this application to demonstrate how multilevel optimization with ModelCenter that simultaneously considers both energy capture and construction costs could have saved $4 million in construction costs and reduced the overall cost of energy produced by the wind farm by $0.20 per Megawatt hour.

A CAE based approach for SnR Detection and Prevention

This webinar provides an overview of a typical CAE based approach for SnR detection and prevention and demonstrates how this is achieved through a Risk and Root Cause analysis in Altair Squeak and Rattle Director. We will also discuss how to increase the complexity and fidelity of the model with the progression of development, and the importance of exploring multiple loading scenarios. Throughout the entire process, structural optimization is there as a helpful tool to find solutions to the problems we encounter on the way or even prevent them from the start.

SnR Prevention Start at Concept and Design Phase

If you are a designer, Squeak and Rattle test engineer or a maybe just a beginner to the SnR Analysis world, this presentation is for you. We will showcase how you can benefit from simulation as early as the concept design phase by performing a CAD based modal analysis combined with a material compatibility analysis, and perform a Screening Risk Assessment which provides upfront results using a streamlined and easy-to-use workflow in Squeak and Rattle Director.
