Operational Impact
The use of ANSYS Composite PrepPost provided EADS Innovation Works with a more efficient and accurate method for modeling and analyzing the load introduction rib of an aircraft's wing flap. The technology allowed for the evaluation of failure criteria, including transverse shear stresses and interlaminar normal stresses, providing valuable insights for the engineers. The ability to conduct concept studies of complex composite designs without extensive simplifications was another significant operational benefit. The technology's unique feature enabled the evaluation of out-of-plane normal and shear stresses in a composite shell model, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the structural integrity of the aircraft part. | |
Quantitative Benefit
ANSYS Composite PrepPost and ANSYS Workbench allowed time savings of up to 65 percent over the traditional solid modeling method. | |
Comparison between the ANSYS Composite PrepPost shell model and the solid model showed nearly identical results. | |
