OVERVIEW
SimOffice is a stand-alone environment in which engineers can build, test,
review, and improve their designs. SimOffice gives product development
engineers the shared technologies they need to assess product performance
and accelerate innovation.
Aeroelastic Stability Derivatives.

Aeroservoelastic Analysis.
Hinge Moment Calculation.
The MSC.Nastran product family is modular, enabling you to analyze products

ranging from simple components to complex structures and systems. This also
enables you to start simply and to grow your analysis capabilities as your
Virtual Product Development (VPD) needs expand. As part of your VPD process,
you can use MSC.Nastran to assess many functional aspects of your products,
such as the structural response (displacement, strain, stress, vibration, and
temperature) due to its material properties and the loads and boundary
conditions that are applied to it during operation.
MSC.Nastran Aeroelasticity I and II
The MSC.Nastran Aeroelasticity I and II product modules enable the analysis of
structural performance in the presence of an air stream for the cost-effective
design of airplanes, helicopters, missiles, suspension bridges, as well as tall
chimneys, exhaust stacks, power lines, and other structures exposed to
aerodynamic loads.
The effects of aeroelastic loads due to subsonic and supersonic environmental
conditions can greatly impact the stability, response, and performance of
structures. Structural design and control system analysis can involve
understanding the performance characteristics due to static aeroelastic stress,
loads, aerodynamics, and flutter. Combining the effects of aeroelastic analysis
with structural analysis can be challenging. MSC.Nastran Aeroelasticity modules
provide the tools to analyze the effects of aeroelasticity and incorporate them
into your structural (statics, normal modes, dynamics) product designs, thus
reducing the time required for several design iterations and avoiding the costs
of addition physical tests.

Aeroelastic Model
Why Are Reduced Finite Element Models Used In Mechanical

System Simulations?
Classical multi-body dynamics formulations assume that the bodies are rigid. For
certain structural parts, however, their flexibility has to be taken into account to
obtain more accurate results. A traditional finite element model of a part is too
detailed for inclusion into a dynamic analysis of an entire multi-body system.
MSC.Nastran Aeroelasticity I
The MSC.Nastran Aeroelasticity I product module provides all
the basic the capability to perform static aeroelastic, dynamic
aeroelastic, and flutter analysis of structures. This product
module operates in combination with the MSC.Nastran Basic
and Dynamics, or Standard products providing a set of
specialized tools to predict and simulate aeroelastic behavior
in combination with structural behavior, perform structural
design sensitivity and optimization, analyze dynamic loading
including gust, and understand the dynamic stability of an
aeroelastic system.
Comprehensive Aeroelastic Capabilities
MSC.Nastran Aeroelasticity I includes the ability to perform the
following specific types of analyses:
Aerodynamic Theories and Methods.
Aeroelastic Stability Derivative Calculation.
Static Aeroelastic Divergence Analysis.
Static Aeroelastic Trim Analysis Including:
Critical Maneuver Loads.
Hinge Moments.
Aeroservoelastic Analysis.
Aeroelastic Dynamic Response Analysis, Including:
Design Sensitivities and Optimization for
Aeroelastic Response.
Superelement and Restart Support.
Integrated with MSC.Patran and MSC.FlightLoads
for Pre- and Postprocessing.
Comprehensive Support For Aeroelastic Loads
The MSC.Nastran aeroelasticity option supports a nonlinear
aeroelasticity capability compatible with common industry
practice. Loads are considered nonlinear functions of control
parameters and are corrected for aeroelastic effects using
common weighting factors to better agree with experimental data.
Full vehicle and symmetric or anti-symmetric half vehicle trim
analysis generates comprehensive balanced maneuver loads
for use in internal loads sizing. Iterative trim algorithms support
redundant control surfaces to simulate the effect of control laws
in quasi-static analyses. Rigid aircraft analysis is available to
provide checks on analysis accuracy.
Stability derivatives, control surface hinge moments and
integrated loads monitor points (e.g., root wing bending moment)
are recovered as a standard output. Full vehicle data are recovered
in both body and wind axes.
Flutter Clearance For Certification
The MSC.Nastran aeroelasticity option supports numerous
aerodynamic theories for subsonic and supersonic unsteady
aeroelastic analysis such as flutter. The resulting data are
directly used in the certification of flight vehicles under the FAA and
JAA requirements.
Industry standard methods such as p-k analysis, the k-method
and their derivative algorithms provide a comprehensive
set of tools to model flutter behavior of damped, linear
systems including:
Flutter Analysis Methods Applicable Across a Range of
Mach Numbers:
K, KE, PK.
PKS (K-Range Sweep).
PKNL (No Looping).
PKNLS (No Looping, K-Range Sweep).
Flutter Clearance.
Multiple Flutter Boundary Conditions
The flutter analysis capability allows for the simultaneous
consideration of multiple boundary conditions. This is most
useful in design optimization where these conditions be treated
in a design task.
MSC.Nastran Aeroelasticity II
The MSC.Nastran Aeroelasticity II product module is an add-on
module (requires Aeroelasticity I as a prerequisite) that provides
a supersonic counterpart (ZONA51) for unsteady aerodynamics,
which is compatible with the subsonic doublet lattice method
available in Aeroelasticity I. This aerodynamic method is licensed
from ZONA Technology, Inc. (www.zonatech.com) and packaged
within MSC.Nastran for convenient access by engineers requiring
supersonic aeroelastic analysis of structures that experience
unsteady supersonic lifting surface aerodynamics such as
high-speed transports, launch and re-entry vehicles, air-combat
vehicles, and missiles.
