Multiphysics — CFD services
Coupled fluid-structure interaction, structural analysis, and modal methods connect realistic aerodynamic loads with structural response.
Analysis approach and scope
Coupling and structural-model fidelity depend on the available geometry, material properties, boundary conditions, operating loads, and time resolution. The agreed setup and limits accompany the results.
Typical outputs
- Structural stress and displacement fields for agreed load cases
- Coupled aeroelastic response or modal results
- Load histories and engineering comparisons for the defined operating conditions
Static stress analysis
This device is using the lightweight preview.
Linear and nonlinear structural analyses compute stress and deformation under steady loads, including contact and large-deformation effects when required.
Dynamic response
Tightly coupled CFD and structural calculations help characterize F/A-18 vertical-tail buffeting and operational loads under demanding Swiss flight conditions.
Modal analysis
Eigenvalue and modal decomposition provide natural frequencies and mode shapes for flutter and resonance-avoidance studies.
Fatigue assessment
High- and low-cycle fatigue workflows use operational load spectra to support life prediction and maintenance planning.
Preventing structural failure
We develop mitigation strategies including reinforcement, damping, and control laws to reduce failure risk under coupled aero-structural loads.
