Aerostrut 4.0 - Product Configurator to Design Lightweight Structures

Project: Funded researchFFG - Austrian Research Promotion Agency

Project Details

Description

The project focuses on the development of the Aerostrut 4.0 product configurator. The configurator allows the automated design of weight-optimized lightweight rods (tension/compression rods) to be used in aviation, that are in accordance with the high standards in the aviation industry. Therefore, algorithms for the automatic calculation and new methods for the automated strength assessment are needed.
