Goodrich Sensors and Integrated Systems has a myriad of design and analysis tools used to develop cutting-edge products and systems for its customers’ evolving needs. Included in the portfolio is a computer aided engineering analysis group. This group provides the technical expertise necessary to support the unique analysis requirements driven by product development programs. The group makes extensive use of GAMBIT Processor, ANSYS for structural and thermal analysis, Pro/Engineering, Fluent for fluid flow analysis and LEWICE for icing analysis. Our analytical capabilities reduce design iterations, prototype builds, certification costs and risks, simplify the certification process and cut overall program design times.

Our engineers have several design workstations at their disposal including Sun, Hewlett Packard and Silicon Graphics. Below are a few of the software applications utilized in product design and analysis:

• ANSYS
• PRO-ENGINEER
• FLOTRAN
• FLUENT
• RAMPANT
• CIRVIBE
• CADENCE

Our design verification capabilities are classical and paperless computerized analysis. Capabilities include stress, vibration, fatigue, thermal, kinematics and fluid dynamics. Icing analysis includes particle impingement and LEWICE thermal analysis on solid models
