Aerospace and Defense

Develop, simulate, test, and deploy mission-crucial and safety-critical systems.

Aerospace and defense companies around the world face quite a few challenges when developing the newest devices and systems. Engineers are constantly under pressure to solve complex design challenges within given deadlines while keeping costs down.

Companies have to rely on MathWorks®, COMSOL®, and Speedgoat products in order to achieve their development goals across all technology readiness levels, accelerate r&d activities, reduce costs, and preserve the accuracy of the analysis. MATLAB®, Simulink®, COMSOL Multiphysics®, and Speedgoat allow engineers to minimize program risks and ultimately make a better – if not the best – design.

Engineers use our products to:

  • Verify and optimize designs for the best performance
  • Develop virtual prototypes and digital twins
  • Couple electromagnetics with heat transfer, structural mechanics, fluid flow, and other physical phenomena
  • Test different geometries, thermocouple configurations, and material selection
  • Build, solve, and post-process models
  • Perform cosimulation with Simulink.
  • Evaluate EMI/EMC considerations and thermal management of airborne electronic equipment
  • Build simulation apps

  • Develop, tune, and test controller models against industry requirements in real-time with real-time inputs from sensors or the avionic bus.
  • Use fully automated testing functionality to test components such as flap actuators, flight control systems, e.t.c.
  • Test embedded controller according to DO-178C standards
  • Verify the successful operation of individual components in complex vehicle networks.
  • Record and process in-flight or ground testing data and visualize it in real-time
  • Automatically analyze raw data to compare system or flight performance across multiple runs.
  • Ensure that all the electronic control units’ functionality, safety, and certification requirements are met
