FES

Within the FES project, the integration of raw data from CFD and FEA analyses via JT Open to Siemens PLM was demonstrated, with Uncertainty Quantification and Management (UQ&M) functions and automated agent-based quality control. This was exercised against real industrial use cases from Rolls-Royce UK and demonstrated within a prototype system at CFMS.

CFMS has developed novel Model Based Systems Engineering tools to allow system architecture concepts to be quickly prototyped and evaluated using numerical models of system components. This makes use of CFMS’ expertise in High Performance Computing (HPC), allowing the use of massive parallelisation to concurrently assess many designs as requirements are refined and changed.

The project demonstrated the feasibility of this approach to maintain a wider range of candidate designs throughout the conceptual design phase of a project, resulting in better exploration of the design space and a more optimal candidate being chosen to take forward to detailed design.
