REGISTER TODAY FOR WEBINAR AT: Reg Link: http://short.compositesworld.com/Alt1117 DATE AND TIME: Nov. 17, 2016 • 2:00 PM EST PRESENTER PRESENTED BY WARREN DIAS Business Development Manager, OptiStruct - Altair Design of Modern Composites Aerospace Structures EVENT DESCRIPTION: Aerospace companies have been driven to reduce weight while pushing performance boundaries. To achieve this goal, the adoption of composite materials is an obvious choice. However to take full advantage of the design flexibility that composites offer a simple material substitution doesn't suffice. Analysis and optimization methods tailored for composites are necessary to go beyond "black aluminum" designs. Altair OptiStruct, a proven structural analysis solver for linear and nonlinear analysis, and industry leader for structural design and optimization, can be adopted early in the design process and throughout the design process to generate, analyze and validate innovative, lightweight and structurally efficient designs of composite structures. PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN: • Fail safe topology optimization of a fuselage section • Automated tape laying manufacturing considerations • Analysis and validation of aircraft structures • Accounting for damage from catastrophic events such as bird impact and fan blade out altair.com
