Airbus A320

From design to flight behaviour: a full A320 modelled, then its wing studied in CFD. The CAD was done in CATIA V5, the CFD in SIMULIA.

Phase 1

CAD

Build a clean and usable geometry of the whole aircraft, up to the render.

  • Full aircraft modelled in CATIA V5.
  • Clean, closed surfaces turned into a solid.
  • Model prepared for simulation.

Phase 2

CFD

The wing is extracted and simplified, then placed in a high-speed flow, in SIMULIA.

  • Low pressure on the upper surface, high pressure on the lower surface.
  • Lift that matches the expected behaviour in flight.
  • Design and simulation in the same software.
