Coupled engineering workflows

Multi-physics

Many engineering problems cannot be captured by a single solver. ACE builds coupled workflows that connect aerodynamic, structural, aeroacoustic and wind-energy tools so that the full behaviour of a system can be analysed more coherently.

A typical example is coupling airfoil analysis, noise prediction and structural models into a single aero-structural or aeroacoustic workflow.
