Case Study: Hamble Aerostructures prevents costly redesigns with Accuris Engineering Workbench and ESDU

Hamble Aerostructures prevents multi-million dollar problems with Accuris Engineering Workbench and Engineering Sciences Data Unit (ESDU)

Hamble Aerostructures, a company that designs and manufactures critical aircraft components, faced the challenge of avoiding multi-million dollar redesigns caused by structural failures during testing. Their engineers needed trusted data and methodologies to perform accurate stress analysis upfront and ensure designs were both safe and optimized for weight. They also required efficient, company-wide access to constantly updated engineering standards from numerous global publishers.

Accuris addressed these challenges with its Engineering Workbench and ESDU solutions. Engineering Workbench provided an intuitive platform for accessing, sharing, and managing standards, while ESDU supplied essential validated data for stress and buckling analysis. This combination enabled engineers to identify and mitigate potential failure modes before physical testing. As a result, Hamble Aerostructures significantly reduced the risk of costly redesigns, accelerated project timelines, and achieved optimal designs that met strict safety and weight targets.
