Effective 1D simulation for bleed air and anti-icing systems
Unique on the market, LMS Imagine.Lab Engine Air Systems provides multi-level analysis of the bleed air network and the anti-icing systems. Experts can assemble different components to assess device and network behavior, making fast calculations and interfacing with various CAE environments to make the right design decisions.
On the concept level, users can simulate and optimize the system architecture and define the system requirements even before any 3D design is available. Making the right trade-offs this early in the process significantly reduces the amount of system reworks.
Further along during specification, engineers can design detailed components and validate models. During the integration phase, the components’ can be virtually integrated into the subsystem to validate overall system performance.
