Full-Scope Mechanical Integrity Support for Vane Cast Part Release
Comprehensive simulation support from concept selection to cast part release. Comparative thermo-mechanical analyses were performed for multiple design variants, including TMF, creep, and fracture mechanics. Material selection and coating behavior were evaluated through TBC spallation and BC depletion assessments. Mesh morphing was applied to support geometry optimization studies. Full-care assistance was provided throughout development reviews.
- Concept phase – Comparative analyses for three design concepts plus baseline (thermo-mechanical FEA, TMF, creep, etc.)
