While MapleSim is good for characterising the physical plant, many engineers such as Dr Khajepour use MapleSim’s code- generation capability to create C code that they import into SimuLink from The Mathworks, a product that is very strong in developing the controller itself.
Improved manufacturing Software to optimise manufacturing is also a part of the aerospace industry. Consider, for instance, a project where the Hyde Group, a global company focusing on the airframe and aero engine engineering/manufacturing sectors, employs Dassault Systèmes’s Delmia software to maximise the use of weight- saving composite materials in wing design and development. Carbon fibre usage in aerospace will
increase rapidly as more craft adopt the weight and strength benefits that the composite materials offer. Simultaneously managing manufacturing tolerances, Hyde has evolved some efficient techniques for making one-piece wings up to 20m long and 6m wide. ‘Designs also take on a new dimension with carbon fibre since it offers design possibilities beyond those using aluminium,’ says the Hyde Group’s technical director Richard Waring. ‘Deploying Delmia V5, we have developed ways to manufacture spars, ribs and covers for wings which are fully optimised yet retain the precise design specifications of the digital original.’ The Hyde Group deploys Delmia
V5 r19 to evolve flow-line production methodologies that allow up to 40 sets of wings to be produced per month. As Waring explains; ‘Demand for composite wings, especially for single-aisle aircraft, will grow beyond current supply capability, so new

methods are being developed to ensure that demand can be met. Traditional build systems used for aluminium wings are unworkable for carbon fibre wings, so a modular approach using robot technology and “off-the-shelf” automotive-style flowline solutions is being perfected for this application. ‘Pulsed manufacturing methods are
optimised with Delmia by modelling component handling and mechanical operations in kinematic 3D. By taking a modular approach using robotic systems, we develop new manufacturing lines. Operational sequencing and full simulation of robotic activity allows us to programme the robots and even design the entire flow line at the outset of product design. This means that our ultimate goal of defining the exact workload at the outset of design comes closer. The cost-benefit analysis of alternative “what-if” methodologies is available prior to production commencing. Balancing lines produces further savings. Less standing-idle is an immediate benefit through better time management over labour and capital equipment.’ For the project Hyde interfaces with
architects, exchanging 3D data to understand both present and evolving building facility requirements. Waring notes: ‘With Delmia data available to them, architects can design for future production scenarios, reduce energy needs and make better use of smaller factories.’ Delmia also enables the use of mannequins to define best-case ergonomics. The software allows Hyde to digitally investigate details of production flow including for example, automated carbon fibre deposition taking into account variable material thickness and fibre direction.
Lorentz has been rewritten from the ground up. The bottom line is improved productivity.
For users familiar with Lorentz, the fl ow of the program is now quite intuitive with many new options readily available.
For new users, the speed, accuracy and ease-of-use have to be seen.
