AFD's consultants have worked for numerous clients on numerous projects using a variety of analysis tools.
Many of the tools required for stress analysis are 'in-house' client developed tools (e.g. Airbus DAMTOL suite) and as such, these tools would need to be made available through the AFD secure server.
The following standard tools have been acquired by AFD to support Work Package delivery and Training Courses:
- MATHCAD
- MSC NASTRAN / PATRAN
- PRO-MECHANICA
- ESACOMP
- NASGRO
- ESACRACK
In addition, the following specialist programs are available for performing non-linear analyses (i.e. inter-component contact, large deformation, material non-linearity studies) and simulations relating to birdstrike, explosion and production processes:
- MSC DYTRAN
- MSC MARC
