MD Nastran helps to streamline the analysis of fuselage-engine integration in the jet engine development process. By using MD Nastran’s rotor dynamics feature, which can simulate the vibration specific to body of rotation and engine vibration, the safety and durability of jet engines can be significantly improved.
It is a huge advantage for us that MD Nastran includes a rotor dynamics feature as this is crucial for aircraft manufacturers, said Masaharu Shinozaki, general manager of the structure and heat transfer technology group at the Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries aerospace division. Adoption of MD Nastran multi-discipline analysis code has reduced the cost to develop in-house software, and as a result, we are able to focus on development.
MD Nastran Rotor Dynamics is a co-operative effort between NASA, Boeing,
major Boeing partners and major aircraft manufactures, and MSC.Software to enable collaboration between jet engine and airframe manufacturers.
