STRUCTURAL SIZING SOFTWARE
STRUCTURAL SIZING SOFTWARE
HyperSizer is the leading analysis, design, and optimization software tool for aerospace structures. The software provides industry standard methods for preliminary design to final analysis for weight optimization, manufacturability optimization, and FAA certification documentation. HyperSizer optimizes structural panel dimensions, materials, and layups, thereby reducing weight and establishing margins of safety for all load cases and potential failure modes. It also optimizes laminate sequencing to reduce ply drops and decrease complexities in composite fabrication. HyperSizer automatically generates stress report documentation for certification of the aerostructure. [more]
The space launch industry is designing more efficient and affordable structures for cargo and crew transport vehicles and communication satellite launchers. HyperSizer provides CAE design and standard analysis methods specific for solving the challenges of ringframe stiffened cylindrical rocket vehicles, both composite and metallic, while meeting NASA design criteria. HyperSizer space launch projects include the NASA heavy-lift SLS vehicle and Commercial Crew and Launch. Recent projects include the NASA Ares I and V shrouds, intertanks, interstages, and the NASA astronaut Composite Crew Module (CCM). [more]
HyperSizer software automates the analysis methods and design practices for the wind turbine blade industry for increased safety, life, performance, and reduced reoccuring and non-reoccuring cost. To increase the power generating capability of a wind turbine, the blades must grow in length. As blade length grows, HyperSizer keeps the blade design as light and manufacturable as possible. [more]
The commercial high speed rail industry requires fast, efficient, and safe vehicles for transporting passengers. HyperSizer provides industry standard methods to resolve design issues including strength, damage tolerance, stability, and structural frequency characteristics to reduce structural weight and increase passenger safety. HyperSizer is a complete engineering tool for designers and stress analysts wherever weight and strength are an issue, allowing them to minimize costs, reduce risk, and improve performance. [more]
HyperSizer is used in the shipbuilding industry for structural analysis and optimization of marine vessels to achieve competitive weights while meeting construction standards. HyperSizer is a complete engineering tool that incorporates advanced structural analysis methods for marine vehicles constructed from steel including welded stiffened panels to composite material sandwich panels and solid laminates.
