AnalySwift, a spin-out of Utah State University, announces plan to partner with engineering consultancy firm Altran on optimising wind turbines.
AnalySwift, a spin-out of Utah State University, has partnered with high-tech consultancy firm Altran to optimise design of composite wind turbine blades.
The two firms will combine mathematical software tools to further development of Altran’s new optimisation code for turbine blades, which will address aerodynamics and structural modelling of emerging blade technology.
As part of the deal, AnalySwift will use its Variational Asymptotic Beam Sectional Analysis (VABS) software, which enables modelling of complex composite structure used in turbine blades, helicopter rotor blades, propellers, and bridges.
Alan Wood, president and CEO of AnalySwift, said: “AnalySwift is excited about the continued relationship with Altran. Researchers and engineers worldwide are actively using VABS for the efficient and accurate modeling of composite slender structures. In addition to its powerful analysis capabilities, VABS is also recognized for helping organizations get products to market more quickly, at a lower cost and with a higher confidence in quality.”
