Aerospace manufacturers must meet increasingly complicated demands from OEMs and regulators: lighter parts, faster design cycles, lower emissions, and zero compromise on safety. With simulation, suppliers can validate component designs early, ensure compliance with aerospace standards, and optimize for performance under extreme operating conditions. Simulation enables manufacturers to stay competitive while supporting the industry’s sustainability goals.
The future of aerospace manufacturing lies in using simulation to perfect every detail of your design. Ready to build lighter, stronger, and safer components, faster than ever? Let’s talk about how simulation can streamline your process and get your parts certified with confidence.
New Challenges for Aerospace Manufacturers
To remain competitive in a rapidly evolving market, aerospace suppliers must reduce development cycle times, minimize material waste, and prove compliance before the first part is even produced. With OEMs prioritizing sustainability and performance, every component must be lighter, stronger, and smarter. Simulation helps manufacturers:
- Digitally prototype and test complex geometries
- Validate materials for temperature, vibration, and corrosion resistance
- Optimize designs for lightweighting and fuel efficiency
- Meet performance requirements under mission-critical load cases

Sustainability in Parts Manufacturing
Simulation plays a crucial role in supporting sustainability initiatives across the aerospace supply chain. By simulating materials, structural integrity, and functional performance at early stages, manufacturers can:
- Reduce the need for physical prototypes and rework
- Lower material waste through optimized geometries
- Improve energy efficiency of aircraft through lightweight designs
- Support OEM environmental benchmarks and emissions targets
Navigating Aerospace Certification Requirements
Certification is one of the most demanding and costly aspects of aerospace parts manufacturing. Simulation accelerates validation processes, offering clear documentation for certifying bodies while identifying issues before physical testing. Simulation supports:
- Fatigue and durability testing
- Static and dynamic load case simulation
- Safety-critical performance validation
- Environmental compliance (thermal, EMI, noise, emissions, etc.)
Material Selection and Advanced Manufacturing Techniques
Modern aerospace production depends on choosing the right materials and techniques, from additive manufacturing to composite layups. Simulation enables manufacturers to:
- Evaluate thermal, structural, and chemical performance of new materials (Granta)
- Simulate additive manufacturing processes and built-in residual stress/warping from such processes
- Optimize fiber orientation and laminate stacking for composites
- Ensure part performance in fluctuating temperature and pressure environments
Supporting OEMs with Predictive Performance Insights
As OEMs explore electric and hydrogen propulsion systems, the demands to accommodate these technologies on parts suppliers are increasing. Simulation gives manufacturers the tools to stay at the forefront:
- Model component performance within propulsion or control subsystems
- Anticipate multiphysics interactions before integration
- Validate compatibility with high-voltage, high-temperature environments
