U.S. Army Selects AnalySwift’s VABS Software for Rotary Wing Structural Modeling and Analysis

AnalySwift is pleased to announce that the U.S. Army’s Aeromechanics Division, part of the U.S. Army Aeroflightdynamics Directorate (AFDD), has licensed the VABS technology for use in helicopter rotor blade modeling and analysis.  The Aeroflightdynamics Directorate (AFDD) is responsible for advancing knowledge and innovative technology in both rotorcraft aeromechanics and human-system integration in order to enhance U.S. rotorcraft competitiveness. Leader for the Loads, Vibration, and Stability Group at AFFD, Dr. Hyeonsoo Yeo is researching “sectional properties calculated from VABS, for rotary wing structural modeling and analysis.”  “We look forward to the continued relationship between the U.S. Army and the VABS engineering software program,” said Allan Wood, President and CEO of AnalySwift. “Researchers and engineers worldwide are actively using VABS for the efficient and accurate modeling of composite beams such as helicopter rotor blades, wind turbine blades, high aspect ratio wings, composite bridges, and other slender structural components.” said Wood.  According to Dr. Wenbin Yu, CTO of AnalySwift, “VABS is the only tool capable of rigorously modeling three-dimensional (3D) slender solids with complex microstructures, such as composite beams, and we are excited for the progress of Dr. Yeo’s research.” Wenbin continued, “The efficient high-fidelity tools offered through AnalySwift enable companies to bring products to market more quickly and at a lower cost with the best available compromise of accuracy, efficiency, and versatility.” Click here for full press release
