MSC FlightLoads and Dynamics builds on the MSC Nastran and MSC Patran products, augmenting them with new system architecture concepts, enhanced data and model management, and integrated visualization tools that directly address flight loads and dynamics requirements.
Figure 1‑1 provides a simplistic overview of the FLDS architecture.
Figure 1‑1 FLDS Architecture Overview
The FlightLoads system provides the capability to:
• Start with native geometry from user-preferred sources such as CAD applications, STEP AP203, or IGES files.
• Define the aerodynamic and structural models.
• Perform aerodynamic calculations.
• Analyze the combined structural-aerodynamic model to provide both component and total vehicle aeroelastic responses.
• View the results and produce external loads that can be passed to the stress group for detailed design and verification.
• Store intermediate results for subsequent retrieval in further analyses.
