Aero Prototype

Five of the seven services were used for the final prototype:


  • Workflow Service
  • Aeroelastic Service
  • Aerodynamic Service
  • Meta-Modeling Service
  • Optimization Service


Starting point of the BRIDGE Aero Prototype is the CATIA geometry model wing and body of a passenger aircraft created by AVIC II. Based on this model the aerodynamic analysis model and the aeroelastic analysis model were created and the Genetic Algorism Optimization (GOA) system improved to run on CNGrid and multi-clusters service. The BRIDGE Aero prototype has been deployed in order to optimize the flap position for an aircraft wing to reduce noise during landing without losing lift. To fulfil the optimization needs, the generated geometry has been modified. Therefore, an automatic model creation tool has been implemented generating the parameterized model according to geometry modifications.


The (final) BRIDGE Aero Prototype represents a complex aerospace scenario demonstrating in operation a distributed workflow for optimization that included at least two simulation modules and a total of five Grid Services for an aerospace application.
