Composite Blade Design & Simulation

A common challenge is to reduce design-to-manufacture time, but manual and disjointed processes are commonplace in composite design to manufacturing. Another challenge is to reduce blade failure rates but structural assessments are often inadequate under a range of loading conditions. Minimizing weight and cost and improving blade performance and reliability becomes a nightmare when there is so little opportunity to optimize design within time-to-market constraints.

Composite materials are ideal for producing wind turbine blades thanks to their strength, weight and exceptional mechanical properties. Working with more than 200 aerospace customers has given Dassault Systèmes unique insight into composite design and manufacturing techniques. Several wind turbine manufacturers have already adopted and are taking advantage of Sustainable Wind Turbines 3DEXPERIENCE solution.
