Project description
Open-source collaborative simulation platform for aircraft components
In aircraft manufacturing, separate components are designed and produced by different companies. The EU-funded MUSICA project aims to develop an open-source collaborative co-simulation platform to simulate separate aircraft components that are designed by separate entities. This unique computation fluid dynamics simulation will be used by both academia and industry, and it will ensure that intellectual property is protected. The technology entails code-to-code coupling, communication between two private networks and co/post-processing of the simulation. The project will help to advance aircraft simulation technology.
Objective
The objective of MUSICA is to develop and to setup an open-source collaborative co-simulation platform that could be used by both academia and industry to simulate separate aircraft components (such as a fan and an airframe) designed by separate entities, in a unique CFD simulation, while ensuring that intellectual property is protected. This involves code-to-code coupling, communication between two private networks, and co/post processing of the simulation.
The approach chosen in MUSICA relies on the new generation open platform OMNIS developed by NUMECA for the management of complex projects involving multi-physics simulations.
