Seeing virtually everything

Simulating larger systems helps engineers understand more interactions.

Aircraft designs continue to become more complex as electronics, mechanics, and hydraulics merge to provide more precision and efficiency. Design tools help ensure that these complicated designs get to market on time with a minimum of faults, leveraging parallel computing to simulate larger sections of a plane.

Software developers are improving the connections between the many tools used to design the complex systems that make up an aircraft. These improved communications play a critical role during the simulation phase when systems or even an entire plane are run through a battery of virtual tests.
