Aerospace Industry Software, Design, Testing and Measurement

Aerospace manufacturing involves the design, development, production, testing and sale of aircraft, space vehicles, rockets and missiles, together with related parts and equipment. There are many critical components in an aerospace manufacturer’s software suite, such as: inventory, manufacturing planning and scheduling, order entry and fulfillment. Customer relationship management (CRM) is also key specifically for those dealing with producing and shipping items that are restricted.

Aerospace Industry Software

Aerospace industry software is a broad term that encompasses a wide range of software applications used by aerospace engineers, designers, and manufacturers. Some of the most common types of aerospace software include:

  • CAD software: CAD software is used to create 3D models of aircraft, spacecraft, and other aerospace components. Some of the most popular CAD software packages for the aerospace industry include CATIA, SolidWorks, and NX.
  • Simulation software: Simulation software is used to test the performance of aircraft and aerospace systems in virtual environments. This helps engineers to identify and correct any potential problems before the aircraft is built. Some of the most popular simulation software packages for the aerospace industry include ANSYS, MATLAB, and Simcenter STAR-CCM+.
  • Manufacturing software: Manufacturing software is used to manage the production process for aerospace components. This software helps to track the status of orders, manage inventory, and ensure that products are manufactured to specifications. Some of the most popular manufacturing software packages for the aerospace industry include SAP, Oracle, and MRPeasy.
  • PLM software: PLM software (product lifecycle management) is used to manage the entire product lifecycle, from conception to retirement. This software helps to track product requirements, manage design changes, and ensure that products meet regulatory requirements. Some of the most popular PLM software packages for the aerospace industry include Siemens PLM Software, Dassault Systèmes, and PTC.

In addition to these general types of software, there are also a number of specialized software applications used in the aerospace industry. For example, there are software packages for designing aircraft wings, software for simulating aircraft aerodynamics, and software for managing aircraft maintenance.

The use of aerospace software is essential for the design, development, and manufacturing of aircraft and aerospace systems. These software applications help engineers to create more efficient and reliable products, and they help manufacturers to produce products more quickly and cost-effectively.
