Accelerating your Seat Design Process for CBA
Dallas, TX | Wednesday, November 6, 2019

In the age of technology, automation, and generative design, aerospace companies are leveraging simulation more then ever to push products to market faster and reduce the cost of testing. Although physical testing will never be replaced, there are methodologies being developed towards digital certification by analysis (CBA).

When designing aircraft seats and validating all of their dynamic events, companies are faced with challenges in weight, predictability, speed, time, and cost. These companies then develop their own processes using simulation and numerical methods to accelerate their product development processes and certification. Altair’s Simulation-Driven Innovation approach to design enable companies to reduce their product development cycle and cost through optimization, design exploration, and automation. 

This event will keynote David Moorcroft who is a mechanical engineer from the Federal Aviation Administration. His presentation called “Numerical Methods for Aircraft Seats” will dive into Altair’s unique set of simulation technologies and latest software solutions to accelerate product development.  

Who should attend? 
CTOs, Business Leaders, Simulation Managers, Lead Technical Specialists, and Engineers in the Aerospace Industry 

Why attend? 
• Learn the latest developments in simulation technology and design processes 
• Apply these best practices to improve your own digital design process 
• Network with prominent individuals in the Aerospace engineering community and discuss key points of interest
