Session 1:

Experiences in creating a lab to attend the aeronautical

industry in Mexico

A. Alcantara, G. Sánchez, CIATEQ; G. Rodriguez, CIDESI; A Espriu, CIDETEQ,

Querétaro, México.

Mexico has a long tradition in aeronautics. In 1908 the first sail plane construction
and fly, and in 1912 the first local airplane motor design and construction; in 1915 a
formal aircraft construction shop was installed to fabricate series a, b, c, airplanes.
In 1918 the first air postal services (first in America), and since 1939 the school of
aeronautical engineering is in operation. Then since 1983, an MRO company was
established in Queretaro Mexico, and after 2002, a series of aerospace
manufacturers mainly from Europe and Canada settle down in Mexico.
These companies now arriving in Mexico do have a clear necessity for different
types of technical support and services linked to local fabrication: materials and
parts testing, metallurgical and materials assessment, physical and model
simulations, NDT services, vibration and fatigue testing, some aspects of design,
tailor design and construction equipment, tooling design and fabrication,
standards data bases, quality programs, local technical support for certifications,
accreditation, training, etc.
This presentation describes the initiative of three technology centers in Queretaro
for creating a local laboratory to service the aeronautical industry arriving in
Mexico, mentioning the experiences in the concept design, equipment selection,
personnel, infrastructure and definition of services. Two main initiatives were taken:
initially, market studies, bench marking, interviews, visits to existing labs and experts
support studies were carried out. In a second approach, a series of meetings with
people of each of the companies settled in two regions in Mexico took over, so as
to receive feedback information on specific necessities related to their particular
services and technology requirements.
This paper describes up to date undergoing experiences related to the mentioned
issues.

Simulation data & process management: Industry deployment show
case

Olivier Tabaste – MSC Software

Growing influence of Behavioral Digital Vehicle representation associated to Virtual

Testing along the overall product design to market has considerably raised need
for Simulation Lifecycle Management Frameworks in the last decade, while
globalization of programs emphasized on necessity to orchestrate simulation
activity in an efficient collaborative approach enabling project stake holder to
share and leverage methods and knowledge across the extended enterprise.
As underlined by a recent report from Garter on the 2020 Simulation Software
Market Simulation Data Management is key player. Looking at a glance through a
non exhaustive list, this presentation will highlight measurable benefits customers
have accepted to communicate in the context of their specific deployments like:
- Audi, one of the early adopter of such a technology, who has managed
terabytes of their simulation data for NVH and Crash since a decade and
offered to act as an MSC reference site where quantitative return can be
exposed.
- Alenia who selected MSC and deployed SimManager in the context of their
Networked Enterprise Transformation to standardize and streamline simulation
- Airbus Germany who was able to measure returns on High Lift Device physical
test operation after they introduced Virtual Test portal driving physical bench
development.
- AgustaWestland and Bell Helicopter who both adopted the solution to
capitalize on Simulation for their Helicopters Design Improvement.
- GKN Driveline who automated their Knowledge Base Process for Application
Engineering and Standard Process for Test Engineering.
- BMW who expended recently their partnership with MSC to cover the whole
Simulation Lifecycle for Automotive purpose.
Through implementation hints at these large Aerospace and Automotive
companies who relied on MSC SimManager solution to establish a collaborative
simulation framework as a central authoring source of simulation data we will focus
on specific aspects of the of the solution open architecture like Scalable Out Of
The BOX Simulation specific Data Model, Simulation Process Capture & Re-Use
Management, Software Open Architecture to leverage Enterprise and PDM live
links relationship through ProStep OpenPDM brokers
Beyond such a scope, MSC keep investing in research with their customers in order
to maintain their leadership in SDPM. In Aerospace for instance, after their
contribution to FP6 VIVACE on Engineering Data Management Framework, MSC in
now engaged in recent FP7 Aerospace program, as one of the major contributors
to Behavioral Digital Aircraft Architecture.

Session 2:

Composites Manufacturing Simulation for “As Built” Structural

Analysis
Mathilde Chabin, Composites Business Development,
Patrick de Lucas, Composites Solution Manager,
ESI Group

The presentation illustrates through some experimental and numerical examples

the need to account for manufacturing effects in composites design. For instance,
one will examine the consequences of the reinforcement deformations on the resin
flow in a Liquid Composite Molding (LCM) process as well as on the failure and
damage behavior in mechanical analysis. The effects of the manufacturing
process parameters on the level of porosity and eventually the mechanical
performance will also be described.

The evidence of the effects of manufacturing on mechanical performance

questions the current best-practices in industry especially in the aeronautics. As
today, Manufacturing Process Simulation (MPS) is hardly used. Therefore, most of
the manufacturing effects are accounted for in the design stage through a safety
factor and this usually leads to added mass altering the benefits of using
composite materials. Based on this analysis, implementing MPS and the chaining to
virtual prototyping appears to be desirable.

 Detailed stress-analysis: concentrating man hours on the most
added value-tasks

François Ribour – INGELIANCE

In aeronautical industry, any “level one” supplier is now working for more than one aircraft
manufacturer. The recent reorganization of Airbus that externalized some manufacturing
plants leads to this situation: for example we may imagine that Aerolia would probably work
for other customers in the future. As a consequence, a new issue related to structure analysis
software has to be solved: should suppliers use specific tools provided or imposed by the
manufacturer (e.g. ISAMI for AIRBUS) or prefer a commercial tool that can be used for several
manufacturers?
"Level one" suppliers are less concerned by that issue because NASTRAN or CATIA are
standards that are adopted by most manufacturers, but the issue is critical at the end of the
suppliers' chain. Following the philosophy of the manufacturer-imposed software, they would
have to purchase as many different tools as the number of their customers for the same
activity of detailed stressing.
Until now Microsoft Excel has been extensively used with a lot of advantages. It could be
listed in-house developed macros are very easy to reuse for another customer, each
engineer can modify their own spreadsheets, each engineer can check their own work: no
need for intensive validation.
Microsoft Excel nonetheless has some drawbacks for instance no 3D visualization of input
data, risk of hidden errors in methods or data, risk of errors when using a spreadsheet
developed by someone else. In order to help these suppliers to solve this problem, STREAME
has been developed by AXS with the support of Aerospace Valley, and is the result of an
innovative program. STREAME is the only existing independent commercial tool, provided with
a complete set of detailed stressing applications, from internal load analysis, metallic static
analysis of aerostructures, fastened or welded assemblies, composite, fatigue and damage
tolerance, composite tools for initial design, allowable damage, optimization and product
support. STREAME has been developed using only validated methods as specified by Airbus,
Boeing, Bombardier, Embraer, Safran, Eurocopter - to name but a few. STREAME is perfectly
linked with NASTRAN; its open architecture enables rapid development; it helps prevent Excel
spreadsheet developments on many occasions. Customers can easily migrate from their
specific software onto STREAME platform, thus relying on one tool only.

Members of INGELIANCE Group, composed with more than 400 engineers and technicians, in
mechanical engineering, process and computation. The Ingeliance activity is mainly oriented
to the aerospace sector. AXS offers recognized expertise in numerical simulation.
The activity fields are design with (CATIA V5) and finite element modeling (NASTRAN, PATRAN
MARC, IDEAS, ABAQUS ...) for the development and the certification of aeronautical
structural parts.
Mechanical studies mainly concern static, dynamic, shock, fatigue, vibration,
thermomechnical, fluid, flight test simulations with regarded the manufacturing constraints
(non-conformities in production or service). These simulations are dedicated to metallic
materials, composites and elastomers materials.
AXS develops and commercializes the calculator Stream that can reduce the cost of studies
during the phases of certification (eg aircraft parts). This software provides a complete set of
tools for post-processing with the ability to add specific developments.

 Fire resistance furnace simulator: Thermal coupling between CFD
furnace and FEM building elements models

François Cayla – Efectis France

Fire resistant building elements are tested on furnaces in accredited laboratories as

EFECTIS France. These tests are conducted according to European standard EN
1363-1 which imposes conventional conditions in terms of ambient temperatures
and pressure gradient inside the furnace at 100 mm from the exposed side of the
tested element.
In a vertical furnace, a static overpressure must be equal to 20 Pa at the top of the
tested element.
Ambient furnace temperatures have to follow a time dependant logarithmic curve
ranging from 20 °C at the start of the test to approximately 1050 °C after 2 hours of
test.
To help manufacturers in the design of their product to be tested, EFECTIS France is
leading a R&D project which consists in a virtual test furnace simulator. In the
future, this will permit to limit the number of tests by a predictive approach.
This project is conducted by modelling the standard vertical furnace of EFECTIS
France laboratory, on which a large range of fire resistant partitions and doors are
tested, whatever are their components and designs.
Efectis France is constituted by two branches:
• The test laboratory in Maizières-lès-Metz,
• The fire engineering department in Saint-Aubin.
In addition, within its fire safety activities, Efectis France has 6 regional offices in
Saint Aubin, Montpellier, Rouen, Lyon and Bordeaux. These 8 units, whose activities
are complementary, include more than sixty technicians, assistants, engineers and
senior engineers in order to satisfy all the needs relating to the fire resistance
assessment of products, building elements, and structures.
The activities of Efectis France cover as well the fire resistance classification of
building elements, product implementation advice, building and civil engineering
work fire safety assessment.
The staffs of the Fire Safety and Test Laboratory units are also involved in the
evolution of the French regulations, and in standardisation works in France, in
Europe and other countries.
