Transforming aerospace design with system simulation
The integration of system simulation in aircraft design is setting new standards for innovation and efficiency. As sustainability becomes a non-negotiable goal, aerospace engineers are increasingly turning to advanced simulation tools to meet stringent performance and environmental targets. Our on-demand webinar explores the transformative role of system simulation in enhancing aircraft design and performance, spotlighting Diamond Aircraft’s achievements in composite aircraft manufacturing through advanced simulation.
Enhancing aerospace design with system simulation
The aerospace industry faces a multitude of challenges, from achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 to integrating new propulsion technologies like electric and hydrogen-based systems. System simulation can help address these challenges by enabling engineers to:
- Predict performance: By simulating both steady-state and dynamic conditions, engineers can anticipate system behavior under various flight scenarios.
- Integrate systems seamlessly: The ability to co-simulate across different domains—mechanical, electrical and control systems—facilitates a holistic approach to aircraft design.
- Accelerate time-to-market: Virtual prototyping reduces the need for physical testing, speeding up the design validation process.
Aircraft system simulation use case
In the webinar, learn about the partnership between ACAM Engineering and Diamond Aircraft. Diamond Aircraft stands out as a leader in the development of composite aircraft for both general aviation and specialized training purposes. Their innovative use of composite materials has resulted in aircraft that are not only lightweight but also robust, enhancing fuel efficiency and overall performance. With ACAM Engineering, Diamond Aircraft used system simulation to develop the Diamond Dart, a turboprop trainer designed to mimic fighter jet maneuvers at a fraction of the cost. This aircraft exemplifies the benefits of composite materials and advanced simulation in reducing operational costs while maintaining high performance. Watch the full webinar to learn how Diamond Aircraft leveraged the Simcenter portfolio, part of Siemens Xcelerator, to model complex tank and fuel systems.
