挑战
B/E Aerospace 是商用和私人客机客舱内饰产品的领先制造商,面临着为航空公司乘客设计更轻、更安全座椅的挑战。不断上涨的燃油价格迫使航空公司寻找创造性的方法来减轻飞机的重量,从而降低燃油成本并最终降低机票价格。 B/E Aerospace 的任务不仅是减轻座椅的重量,还要确保这些部件在紧急情况下为乘客提供更好的保护。这些座椅的设计完全以市场为导向,航空公司要求乘客的舒适度和功能,同时也要求更轻的座椅以应对燃油成本的不断增加。面临的挑战是在安全认证的限制范围内满足这些要求。
关于客户
B/E Aerospace 是商用和私人客机客舱内饰产品的领先制造商。他们的设计和制造工厂遍布全球,其主导产品之一是商业和公务航空座椅系列。这些座椅由位于北卡罗来纳州温斯顿塞勒姆的商用飞机产品集团设计和测试。 B/E Aerospace 在其北卡罗来纳州工厂设计商业航空座椅以及许多其他飞机内饰家具。他们的设计和有限元分析 (FEA) 团队有一个共同的座右铭:更便宜的机票和更安全的乘车。
解决方案
B/E Aerospace 将 HyperWorks 和计算机辅助工程 (CAE) 的使用纳入其产品周期。这是在见证了 HyperWorks 在迈阿密工厂的成功之后发生的,该工厂的工程师为私人飞机设计了头等舱座椅。 HyperWorks 背后的公司 Altair Engineering 派遣了一名高素质工程师到现场工作三个月,以支持其最新商用座椅产品的设计。期间,现场工程师演示了使用HyperWorks工具进行CAE的好处。首席结构和认证工程师 Yanbin Liu 的任务是通过结合先进的 CAE 方法开发虚拟认证流程,从而改进 B/E 的设计流程。在设计过程的早期使用 Altair HyperMesh 和 Altair OptiStruct 的拓扑优化功能,刘博士能够将用于分析的典型支腿和吊具单元的重量减少 32%。
