挑战
ACENTISS 是一家为金属和复合结构的结构设计、应力和疲劳能力提供工程服务的公司，其任务是开发全电动技术演示飞机 ELIAS。该项目名为“EUROPAS”，需要开发完整的电力侦察系统、数据链和地面控制站。此外，ACENTISS 还必须设计机翼和起落架的结构。我们面临的挑战是制造一架可以长距离飞行的轻型飞机，同时将开发时间和成本降至最低。为了实现重量、强度和性能之间的最佳平衡，并减少实际原型的设计迭代，ACENTISS 需要利用计算机辅助工程工具，特别是复合材料机翼的结构布局和起落架的运动学。
关于客户
ACENTISS 是经过认可的工程、技术和服务支持中心，在产品生命周期的所有阶段为客户提供支持。该公司主要服务于航空航天、可再生能源和汽车行业。 ACENTISS 利用其知识和经验来研究和开发新技术、分析和优化客户的流程、转让工程技术并提供临时管理服务。在工程、模拟和优化领域，ACENTISS 在所有项目阶段为金属和复合结构提供结构设计、应力和疲劳能力的工程服务。该组织使用先进的仿真技术来实现所开发产品的高质量，并采用数值优化方法和进化策略来确保以合理的成本实现轻量化设计。
解决方案
为了应对该项目的挑战，ACENTISS 使用了 Altair HyperWorks Suite，其中包括 HyperMesh、HyperView、MotionSolve 和 OptiStruct。这些工具用于设计、计算和验证飞机机翼的复合结构，使工程师能够确定机翼的最佳纤维体积，以确保它们轻质但足够坚硬。 ACENTISS 还对起落架设计和拓扑优化进行了运动学仿真，以确保最佳的重量/性能比。通过优化，ACENTISS 缩短了所需的开发时间，直到达到重量最小的最终有效设计。 HyperWorks 产品使他们能够为其设计的所有组件和系统创建最佳尺寸。然后根据虚拟确定的规格生产部件，新飞机轻松通过了所有认证测试。

Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).
