Historically NASA Langley Research Center has focused primarily on aeronautical research, and has also tested space hardware at the facility, such as the Apollo Lunar Module. But when it needed some support on developing an HFMDO framework, it knocked on M4 Engineering's door.
CHALLENGES
- Diverse discipline specific requirements
- Mapping across domains
- Requirement to support multiple codes within discipline
- Optimization across broad design spaces
VALUE CREATED
- Accurate modeling of inter-disciplinary couplings
- Prediction of the performance
- Evaluation of the benefits and risks
- Quickly integrate FEA/CFD analysis, morph geometry, re-mesh and apply loads
