virginia tech uses msc.software technology for nasa research project called fixed wing
saint ana, California – September 21, 2010 – msc.software, a leader in the supply of multidisciplinary solutions that accelerate product innovation, today announced that the unitized structures group at the virginia polytechnic institute and state university, commonly known as virginia tech, uses msc.software simulation products to conduct its research within the framework of the nasa contract called “subsonic fixed wing hybrid body technologies”.
the unitized structures group at virginia tech, led by rakesh k. kapania, together with the aerospace and oceanographic engineering department, was involved in the development of procedures for the optimization of stiffened panels using curvilinear stiffenings and supersonal alar profiles with curvilinear structures. a new procedure, defined ebf3panelopt, was developed using patran for modeling and generating mesh and md nastran for finite element analysis.
this procedure allows the user to optimize multi-sided panels that have straight edges or curves using stiffenings that act under the action of flat loads uniform or not. Moreover, the united structures group is developing a tool called ebf3sswingopt, which uses the ‘translation’ functionality in patran to generate curvilinear elements. this procedure adds the optimal number of centimeters in a wing profile based on the translation parameters provided by the user.
“We are very pleased that msc.software, as part of the peace program initiated by Dr. jan hege bohn, provided 100 licenses to virginia tech,” said rakesh k. kapania. “This has allowed us to improve our ability to design structures using advanced modeling and analysis techniques. without the support of msc, we could not have achieved the progress we have achieved in our work. ”
“Msc modeling and analysis techniques and the extraordinary team of researchers at virginia tech combine perfectly,” added david yuen, vice president for sales in North America of msc.software. “The msc team will continue to devote special attention to providing support to universities and research programmes. we are looking forward to seeing progress in new areas of product innovation and development. ”
virginia polytechnic institute and state universityProvided in 1872, virginia tech is located in blacksburg, virginia and has nine colleges. ranked as one of the top universities in the United States, virginia tech offers 65 graduate programs.
