shapes and patterns. HyperSizer can be used from preliminary design to final analysis.

Attractive new features
New features in HyperSizer v6 include manufacturability optimization, post-buckling analyses and panel concepts. Manufacturability optimization: To help design for efficient manufacturing, the software now has the capability to identify, define, and control ply-count compatibility, laminate sequencing, interleaving, and ply-drop minimization. This results in fewer processing steps, cost-effective lay-ups, and faster turnaround in the mould. Post-buckling analyses: Automated compression, shear, and compression-shear post-buckling analyses, based on complex NASAdeveloped methods that serve as the foundation for metal aircraft design, have now been added. Integrated

Aircraft wingbox analysis shows colourcoded composite laminate sections, demonstrating the software’s capability to customize for location-specific loading and to increase manufacturing efficiency

Shipbuilding
HyperSizer is used in the shipbuilding industry for structural analysis and optimization of seaworthy marine vessels to achieve competitive weights while meeting construction standards. This software is a complete engineering tool that incorporates advanced structural analysis methods for marine vehicles constructed from steel, including welded stiffened panels, to composite sandwich panels and solid laminates.

with flexural-torsional buckling, these allow engineers to cut weight in aluminium skin airframes. Such analyses, difficult to perform with non-linear FEA alone, have been extended to composite material systems as well. Panel concepts: Two novel, damage-tolerant composite architectures are now available, providing more structural sizing variables and optimization flexibility: PRSEUS is a As wind turbine blades grow in length, there is an inBoeing/NASA/Air Force crease in weight, gravity, and wind loads. HyperSizer composite analysis software guides engineers towards Research Lab-developed drylighter, stronger, and more manufacturable designs earlier in the design process fabric woven material pultruded rod structure, while “reinforced core sandwich” is an It is challenging to cut weight while alternative sandwich panel similar to maintaining strength and controlling foam sandwich. Specialized analyses cost. HyperSizer has the capability to for both these panel concepts have systematically optimize the been implemented and correlated to placement of a variety of different test data established for accurate materials throughout the ship predictions of strength. superstructures to maximize load resistance and minimize weight and A comprehensive tool thus cost. n Serving as the analysis hub and More information: automating data transfer during both www.hypersizer.com

HyperSizer structural sizing and composite optimization software was used to analyze three component structures for the NASA heavy launcher (formerly Ares V)

design and manufacturing cycles, the software integrates with FEA software, such as Nastran and Abaqus, and with composite CAD tools, such as CATIA and FiberSIM. HyperSizer ensures that design and analysis departments are kept up-todate and working with the same design data. Given the increasing emphasis on more complex materials, engineers need to improve and automate their design processes to reach even higher levels of efficiency. It is no longer good enough just to spot-check. Each part needs to be examined as a system. HyperSizer allows engineers to more fully explore the entire design space. In addition to aerospace, the software design and manufacturing capabilities are suitable for optimizing composite-driven designs in a wide variety of industries including marine (ship superstructures), wind energy (turbine blades), and transportation (high-speed railcars).
