Simcenter Flightstream is a computational aerodynamics software used to analyse aerodynamic performance using fast, high-fidelity simulation methods. It focuses on modelling airflow behaviour around aircraft, drones, and aerodynamic structures.
Simcenter Flightstream is used to evaluate aerodynamic characteristics such as lift, drag, pressure distribution, and flow behaviour. Engineers use it to assess aerodynamic performance early in the design process without relying solely on traditional CFD.
Simcenter Flightstream supports aerodynamic analysis for external flows, including steady and unsteady aerodynamics. It is commonly used to study airflow around wings, fuselages, control surfaces, and other lifting bodies.
Simcenter Flightstream uses a computational approach that allows faster aerodynamic evaluation compared to traditional volume-based CFD methods. This makes it well suited for early-stage design studies and rapid aerodynamic assessment.
Simcenter Flightstream is used in aerospace, aviation, unmanned aerial systems, and research environments. It is particularly valuable where fast aerodynamic insight is needed during concept development and design refinement.
Simcenter Flightstream is designed to be used early in the design process. It allows engineers to explore aerodynamic behaviour and compare design alternatives before committing to detailed CFD or physical testing.
Simcenter Flightstream is typically used during conceptual and preliminary design stages. It complements higher-fidelity CFD and experimental testing by providing fast aerodynamic insight earlier in development.
Altair FlightStream helps engineers gain rapid aerodynamic insight, reduce design iteration time, and improve understanding of aerodynamic performance through efficient simulation.
Simcenter Flightstream is designed to complement other simulation tools. It can be used alongside CFD, structural, and system-level analysis tools as part of a broader engineering workflow.
