The Transition to 3DEXPERIENCE, an Aerospace Simulation Perspective
In 2016 Boeing began a transition to a fully digital enterprise. Part of this transition, known as 2nd Century Enterprise System (2CES), includes the transformation of our Engineering processes to be Model Based incorporating the concept of a Digital Twin by exploiting Simulation throughout the lifecycle of the products we produce. To facilitate this, Boeing has selected the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to be the basis of its engineering design and analysis toolsets. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform will allow Boeing to break down silos between engineering disciplines allowing collaboration between people, processes, tools and data. As part of the process of transitioning to a digital enterprise, we must first transition the simulation work we do today from our current set of tools to the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. The breadth of simulations and analysis Boeing will perform in 3DEXPERIENCE range from conceptual loads development to certification analysis to in-service support long after production has ended. This presentation will provide an overview of the structural simulations and analysis being transitioned to 3DEXPERIENCE at Boeing highlighting the benefits we are realizing, the challenges we face and new opportunities such as support of Additive Manufacturing.

Transient Analysis and Experimental Investigation of Bellow Separation System of a Launch Vehicle
This paper presents the analysis and experimental investigation of a bellow separation system of a launch vehicle. Transient analysis of the bellow separation system is carried out by non-linear dynamic implicit analysis using Abaqus 2019. Transient analysis revealed that the response of the separation system for both test and flight configuration is different. Test setup configuration is modified, and linear & non-linear transient analysis was carried out for the revised configuration. It has given enough confidence to proceed with the qualification program. Structural response of the system under separation event was captured using strain gauges. The test results are in good agreement with the finite element analysis results. It is noted that Non-linear dynamic implicit analysis gives better strain prediction for separation system transients.
Keywords: Launch vehicle, bellow separation system, transient analysis, strain measurement
