Pacelab APD & SysArc

Pacelab APD enables engineers to analyze and optimize their preliminary designs holistically - i.e. at the whole-aircraft level – which not only saves time, but money as well.

With its Multi-disciplinary Analysis and Optimization (MDAO) approach, you can develop aircraft and their subsystems, assess performance, and generally accelerate your progress in numerous design challenges.

Some common applications are:

• New aircraft and technology upgrades

• Retrofitting and variants

• Systems engineering

• Competitive analysis

• Impact analysis for equipment

Intuitive UI and configuration wizard

Easily configure aircraft components, and update your models anytime

Convert and store measurement units automatically

Eliminate manual conversion errors and unit misinterpretations

Ready-to-use propulsion and aircraft models

No need to start from scratch

Extensible, ready-to-use charts and reports

Such as payload range diagrams and flight envelope charts - because it always comes down to the numbers

No CAD expertise needed

Parameterized generic 3D components and rich purpose-built component editors enable easy visual verification as well as input for aerodynamics, mass, and volume

Easy set-up of complex missions

Configure missions on- or off-design for sizing or benchmarking. Challenge your model and close the design loop

Smart dependency tracking

Updates your model automatically after any configuration change, with complex solving runs finishing in a few seconds

Detect and track all dependencies automatically

Even circular dependencies can be solved – all without writing a single line of code

Reverse computation direction of methods

Change direction with one click, no coding required

Open-source models and methods

Extend or replace as needed

Easily integrate third-party tools and libraries

Thanks to an extensive API and the power of a full-fledged programming environment
