The Right Method for the Right Problem: Decoding Computational Aero-Acoustics

In this webinar, Hexagon’s technical experts will go over different methodologies available to solve aero-acoustic problems and will demonstrate how they can be used to solve efficiently a large variety of applications.

Today’s CAE-led product development must cope with Multiphysics problems to deliver innovative and comfortable new products. While the technical skillset of the individuals is constantly expanding, computational aided engineering (CAE) tools need to allow them to efficiently deploy multidisciplinary numerical analyses.

In aero-acoustics design workflows, acoustics and noise has been commonly treated as a secondary concern, usually assessed at the last stages of design. Consequently, the desired aerodynamic performance does not necessarily translate to a suitable solution on the acoustic comfort level and vice-versa.

To answer these challenges, it is important to select for each application case the appropriate methodology allowing to find the right balance between model complexity, calculation time and added engineering insight.

In this webinar, Hexagon’s technical experts will go over the different methodologies available to solve aero-acoustic problems and will demonstrate how they can be used to solve efficiently a large variety of applications.
