Design and Development of UAV’s using a Multi Physics Simulation Platform

Background

The advancement in technology and the global evolution towards complex integrated systems are driving the design in today’s product. The complex systems like UAV’s/Drones require multidisciplinary simulation driven design approach to accelerate the design & development process, deployment efficiency and meeting the regulatory standards.

Altair Smart Multi-physics platform enables best-in-class solutions for solving complex multidisciplinary and multi-physics analysis and design problems involving combinations of structures, fluids etc. Later the optimized design can be used for additive manufacturing to cut product development time and costs by reducing material usage, print time etc

We are pleased to invite you to a webinar on “Design and Development of UAV’s using an Altair
Multi Physics Simulation Platform”. In this webinar, we will give an overview of convergence of Multiphysics simulation and AI/ML for UAV design and development and how we address various simulations and provide a complete solution that spans from modelling, analysis, additive manufacturing, data analytics and IoT.
