Case Study: Safran speeds aircraft lighting design and validation with Ansys SPEOS

Safran - Customer Case Study

Safran Aerosystems, a subsidiary of the SAFRAN Group and a leader in aeronautical equipment, faced the expensive and time-consuming challenge of physically validating its aircraft lighting systems on runways. To overcome the logistical difficulties of mobilizing aircraft and accounting for variable real-world conditions, they needed a high-performance digital simulation tool. They turned to vendor EDRMedeso for the Ansys SPEOS optical simulation software.

EDRMedeso's Ansys SPEOS enabled Safran engineers to model, simulate, and validate virtual lighting prototypes with incredible realism. This solution significantly reduced design and validation costs and time, shortening time to market for new equipment. The software also served as an indispensable aid to decision-making and boosted creativity and innovation within the teams.
