How Airbus improved flutter analysis for the A380 aircraft

Airbus collaborated with Siemens Digital Industries Software to improve flutter analysis for the A380, facing challenges from high modal density and similar mode shapes. The partnership used Simcenter Testlab Structures for modal analysis, allowing:

• Efficient processing of in-flight data
• Better alignment between Airbus France and Germany analyses
• Enhanced offline test analysis with clear stabilization diagrams
• Superior results with Operational Modal Analysis over classical methods

Simcenter PolyMAX technology integration provided 98% synthesis correlations and effective de-noising for in-flight data. Discover how Siemens' solutions aided Airbus in tackling complex flutter analysis challenges.
