Product Features

Relational database forms the underlying software foundation and data integrity for all products

  • Material database including data at temperatures for all material types: Isotropic Mil Handbook 5, Composite Mil Handbook 17, laminates, honeycomb core, foam 
  • Built-in, form based, search and filter
  • Windows Access material database schema open for outside developers: direct SQL, API calls 

Graphical layup editor: cut, copy, and forward/reverse, before/after paste, stack templates, general block moves, etc.

Effective stiffnesses and allowables, general loadings, elevated temperatures and through-the-thickness temperature gradients

Graphical plot of failure envelopes

Graphical plot of ply-by-ply stresses and strains

Failure Criteria: max strain, max stress, Tsai-Hill, Tsai-Wu, Tsai-Hahn, Hoffman

Material Property HTML reports

50 different panel and beam concepts: i.e. integral blade, hat and Z shaped stiffened panels, honeycomb sandwich, isogrid, I beam, C channel

 

An analysis tool with most commonly performed structural analyses included and documented clearly

 

Extensive panel and beam failure analyses such as cylindrical panel buckling and cross section crippling

 

Complete margin-of-safety reporting for all analyses for limit and ultimate loads

 

Simultaneous optimization of panel/beam concept, material selection, layup, and cross section dimensions, including linking of section variables

 

Stiffness, frequency, deformation, and midspan displacement analysis and optimization

 

Free Body Diagram GUI with general edge loading and/or boundary conditions. Transverse pressure loadings

 

Integrated graphical display of the optimum cross design, to-scale, in VRML 

 

Full temperature-dependency supported including through-the-thickness temperature gradients for panels

 

Composite loaded bolt holes

 

 

PDF documentation of equations and analysis methods

 

Coupling to FEM: Support for MSC/NASTRAN, I-DEAS, and FEMAP solvers and modelers, unlimited grids, elements, loadcases, etc.

 

 

A documentation tool which not only sizes structures and makes detailed weight statements, but documents entire vehicle detailed stress in archiveable, easily readable, and easily transmittable HTML documents

 

 

Statistical loading algorithms for determining "design-to" internal loads from the FEA results

 

 

Advanced Statistical Optimization: multiple robust  design solutions, component surface linking

 

 

User defined analysis plug-ins (legacy codes) written in Fortran, C, or C++ programming languages

 

 

Integrated graphical display of the FEM and FEA computed loads, and all HyperSizer results on the FEM such as unit weights, failure modes, controlling loadcases
