In the aeronautic industry, where mass is a significant design factor, cockpit and passenger seats are subject to rigorous static and dynamic regulatory criteria as well as live comfort assessments. Working with limited physical prototype designs limits the chances of creating new, cutting-edge seats and results in traditional, overweight designs. And when you try optimizing the weight vs. cost ratio to meet interior noise targets, you can run into delays and cost overruns in the design cycle. Ultimately, the penalty for late interventions caused by poor designs is, unfortunately, an increase in both weight and cost.

Engineers need virtual prototyping to design and engineer cabin and cockpit interiors for quick iterations on variants that facilitate decision-making early in the design process and innovation with confidence.

ESI Seat, Acoustics & Interior solutions accurately evaluate all criteria, simultaneously, and can deliver precise individual and overall results. For a fraction of the time and cost compared to physical prototyping, you can:

• run numerous trials for various configurations early in the design phase

• optimization and fine-tune performance simultaneously to maximizing comfort, safety, and weight reduction

• virtually pre-certify before ever building a single physical validation prototype
