ARC Utilizes Ansys Simulation to Increase Efficiency in the Development of 3D-printed Rocket Engines
3D-Printed Rocket Engine Simulation with Ansys
Additive Rocket Corporation uses 3D printing and biomimetic fluid structures to develop affordable, reliable rocket engines. To evaluate its highly variable designs, ARC required accurate and physically validated multiphysics software that could model fluid, structural and thermal behaviour.
ARC uses Ansys Fluent, Ansys CFX and Ansys Mechanical to visualise physical interactions inside its engines and identify design improvements. The resulting simulation data helps the company optimise custom rocket thrusters and develop more efficient, cost-effective engines in less time.
