STRUCTURAL DESIGN
The operational process of our department begins in close contact with the Aerodynamics section, which provides the forces acting on the structure and indications for the aerodynamic efficiency. First, a preliminary sizing of the structure is carried out analytically, applying the static and fatigue verification methods from sector regulations. Then, we design the components on the Solidworks CAD software; finally the whole structure is simulated in Ansys Mechanical, to definitively verify the calculations, also checking that the rotor does not operate in the natural frequency range. Once the structure has been validated, we produce technical drawings for production by local commercial factories.
