Aircraft design and analysis

A group of general views, aerodynamics and interconsistence and strength at the Development and design Office of JSC TAM-TBILISI AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURING discharges the following principal functions:

• Development of loading patterns

• Identifying the loads affecting the aircraft

• Strength calculation, drafting static test programs

• Development of mathematical models and theory of surfaces

• Fixing the centre of gravity and mass analysis.

In reaching the set aims the group uses the following software:

• CATIA V5, a system of computer-aided design;
• Advanced Aircraft Analysis for Preliminary identification of aircraft technical, aerodynamic and dynamic parameters;
• NASTRAN, PATRAN for calculation of structures for static and dynamic loads by FEM (Finite Element Method);
• Aircraft PDQ to define the weights and center of gravity of an aircraft in the first approximation and to preliminary define the flight parameters;
• MathCAD – mathematical calculation.
