Catch integration failures early and stay ahead of certification requirements from day one.
Aerospace & Defense Libraries
Aviation Systems
Virtual Aircraft Architecture Integration
Master aircraft system complexity from concept to certification. Aviation Systems enables engineers to define aerodynamic behavior of aircrafts like airplanes or multi-copters. Allows to connect with other libraries like Hydrogen or Battery library for modeling of sub-systems. Validate system-level control laws, execute real-time flight profiles, and eliminate physical integration errors early in the design cycle.
Fluid Power
Critical Aircraft Hydraulic Actuation
Ensure reliability for flight-critical actuation systems. The FluidPower Library allows aerospace engineers to virtualize complete aircraft hydraulic networks, including landing gear deployment and flight control surfaces. Simulate transient cavitation risks, extreme temperature-dependent fluid viscosity changes, and component failures to thoroughly test safety margins and control system backups.
Brushless DC Drives
Aerospace Actuation & Drone Propulsion
The Brushless DC solution lets aerospace engineers model high-performance electric motors and drone rotors. Simulate electro-mechanical transients, evaluate motor thermal bounds, and validate sensorless control algorithms to ensure safe drone operation and flawless flight deck actuation.
Systems Cooling
Thermal Management
Protect critical electronics and flight systems from thermal stress. The Cooling solution provides precise tools to model airframe thermal management with liquid and air cooling systems, from liquid cold plates for high-power avionics to cabin air supply. Simulate complex transient heat loads across the full mission profile, ensuring complete system safety and high-altitude operational reliability.
EPS
More-Electric Aircraft (MEA) Microgrids
Pioneer the next generation of More-Electric Aircraft (MEA). The EPS solution provides robust components to simulate airborne electrical microgrids, high-frequency generators, and solid-state power distribution units. Evaluate dynamic grid stability, analyze fault-propagation scenarios, and validate power management control strategies under severe operational flight maneuvers.
Flight Dynamics
Full-Envelope Flight Mechanics & Systems Modeling
The Flight Dynamics Library empowers aerospace engineers to build complex multiphysical aircraft models and simulate them across their flight envelope. Combine multi-body dynamics, engine-, actuator-, sensor- and other system models to execute design studies, validate flight test data, identify performance gains (e.g. in conjunction with the Optimization library) and derive code for SiL and HiL applications.
Battery
Electro-Thermal Pack & BMS Simulation
Design, simulate, and optimize advanced battery energy storage systems for infrastructure applications. Model electrical, thermal, and aging behavior with high fidelity to maximize performance, safety, reliability, and assess lifetime. The Battery Library enables engineers to seamlessly scale from individual lithium-ion cells to large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), capturing real-world cell variability, thermal gradients, and operational conditions across the system. Analyze the impact of temperature distribution, cycling strategies, and degradation mechanisms on energy capacity, efficiency, system availability, and long-term performance. Evaluate battery behavior under diverse grid services, renewable energy integration scenarios, and load profiles to ensure reliable operation. From cell-level electrochemistry to system-level integration, the Battery Library helps develop safer and more efficient storage solutions.
Hydrogen
Advanced Airframe Fuel Cell & Propulsion Modeling
Pioneer zero-emission aviation architectures with reliable hydrogen power. This solution provides an equation-based, acausal platform to model PEM fuel cell systems and auxiliary infrastructure for aircraft and UAVs. Engineers can accurately simulate transient thermal-fluid properties, gas mixture mediums, and pressure losses under varying flight profiles. Use simple polarization curves to quickly model complex membranes and complete stacks. This high-fidelity approach allows R&D teams to optimize stack cooling layouts, evaluate dynamic fuel cell performance during sudden altitude power shifts, and implement precise control strategies to maximize system lifetime and safety margins.
