  1. Accelerate Development Use of Robust Design™ by MSC Software for Automatic Aerospace Design, Performance Optimization, and Accelerating Engineering Development Fred Perkins Federal Engineering Associates McLean, Virginia 703-506-9212

  2. Better Results - Faster • Helps reveal real high performance design drivers – even to rocket scientists • Improves the focus of FEM, reducing analysis time and accelerating engineering development, reducing cost and time to achieve superior results • Helps eliminate unknown unknowns • Improves FEA validation while enhancing the value of test data 703-506-9212

  3. Candidate Satellite Design Example 703-506-9212

  4. Decision Maps - Structured Information Inputs Outputs Statics Eigenvalues Buckling Critical output • Unlimited Model Sophistication • Unlimited Coupled Outputs (for supported solvers) 703-506-9212

  5. How Do Full Rage of Inputs/Outputs Relate? 703-506-9212

  6. How Stable is Your Design Point? 703-506-9212

  7. What Really Drives Your Results? 703-506-9212

  8. FEA Validation by Better Test Data Use • Modern optical and other experimental mechanics measurement systems produce large datasets of high precision static and dynamic data • Robust Design™ promises a path to automation of many FEA validation and optimization tasks, leading to better models and faster results. 703-506-9212

  9. Current Practice Better Results – Accelerate Development Current Practice Design Limited Bandwidth Data to Design - CMM - Dial Indicators - Fit up trials - Limited validation of CAD baseline vs. as-built - Difficult to acquire, slow to transfer Integrated Surface Contour CAD part/assy. files Integrated CAD/CAE Native CAD External Shape Data - Continuous measurement points - Contour, flatness, curvature measurement - Quickly subtract as-built from as-modeled part - Fast acquisition, fully integrated Experimental Analysis Mechanics/ FEA Strain/Stress/Modal Data Metrology Full-field Strain/Vibration Extensive Engineering Database Limited Bandwidth Data to Analysis - 10's thousands of strain/vibration measurements - 10's of strain gages - Data overlaid on picture of objects - 10's of accelerometers - Section between features for point-to-point comparisons - Severe instrumentation problems in high gradient areas - No gaps between sensors - No visibility between sensors - Fast and easy data acquisition - Difficult and slow to instrument and acquire data - No confusion about results - Ambiguities in interpretation 703-506-9212
