AeroTex UK is based in the UK and has extensive experience in structural dynamics, including the construction and analysis of complex structural models. The aerospace company specializes in rotorcraft and rotor blades, including propellers. “At AeroTex, we use multidisciplinary analysis to design complex aerospace structures, seeking to minimize load and vibration, and increase aeroelastic stability margins,” said Colin Hatch, chief structural consultant at AeroTex UK. “VABS provides a powerful tool for our arsenal, enabling us to create rotor blade and propeller models as equivalent beam structures, with a faster design cycle than large 3D finite element models. VABS allows us to cross the structure Having an accurate model allows us to model a single composite layer without affecting the design cycle."

“We are delighted that AeroTex has chosen our VABS software to meet their analytical analysis needs for composite propellers and rotor blades,” said Allan Wood, President and CEO of AnalysySwift. “They are heavily involved in the field of rotorcraft, which fits well with VABS. As a versatile cross-section analysis tool, VABS can provide high fidelity in the early stages, shortening the design cycle and shortening time to market.”


“The VABS program is a unique and powerful tool for simulating composite blades and other elongated structures, often called beams,” said Dr. Yubin Wenbin, chief technology officer of AnalystSwift. “With the efficiency of a simple engineering model, VABS can quickly and easily achieve detailed 3D FEA accuracy, reducing analysis time from hours to seconds. With VABS, engineers can calculate the most accurate and complete cross-sectional characteristics. For example, torsional stiffness, shear stiffness, shear center of composite beams made of any section and any material. It can also predict the exact detailed stress distribution of composite beams, which is usually not possible with 3D FEA for real composite structures. "


VABS has been developing for nearly 30 years in performance and robustness for the aerospace and wind energy industries, simulating complex composite rotor blades, wing section design and simulating other elongated composite structures. VABS was developed by Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Institute of Technology) and Utah State University and is available through the analyswift of analyzeswift.com.
