Efficient, Multi-Scale Designs Take Flight

About this technology

Overview

The HyperSizerR Structural Sizing Software is a design, analysis, and documentation tool that increases productivity and standardization for a design team. Based on established aerospace structural methods for strength, stability, and stiffness, it designs on the micro scale, considering the individual fiber and matrix phases, their arrangements, and their likelihood to initiate failure of the global aerospace structure. In the transportation industry, HyperSizer's cost-effective design capability with stiffened wall construction concepts makes it ideal for designing and analyzing rail cars, tractor trailers, dump trucks, and shipping containers. HyperSizer can also be used for new and innovative designs for the marine industry, ranging from scantlings of composite hull panels for high speed light craft to stiffened plate panels of hull girders, side shells, and bottom structures. Since HyperSizer can achieve the lightest weight for any marine design, it benefits high-speed vessels such as passenger catamarans and rescue vehicles that are weight optimized to obtain high speeds.
