We are happy to share with you the news that Yuzhnoye SDO is now in the ANSYS Hall of Fame, ANSYS, Inc. based on the results of simulation for the Cyclone-4M launch vehicle and its launching system.

ANSYS Hall of Fame Competition is a yearly contest, held for the 11-th time, that demonstrates the achievements in design engineering. For the first time Ukraine has become a finalist: https://www.ansys.com/other/hall-of-fame.

Theoretical calculations allow to optimize costly and long-term full-scale tests.

Using the reliable software Yuzhnoye SDO does design-theoretical work, finds aero-, hydro-, gas-dynamic properties as well as strength of variety of products, thermal modes of their operation, selects trajectories, analyzes flight dynamics and issues the optimum flight tasks for spacecraft.

Our specialists use the wide range of software, including licensed ANSYS program, that had successfully been used worldwide in aerospace and other fields of industry.

In particular, in the course of development of the Cyclone-4M space launch system the YSDO engineers were using ANSYS Fluent to study thermal impact and loading on gas outlet pipe at takeoff, when flame temperature might reach up to 3800 К. They found with high accuracy location and maximum loading/thermal loading on the system structure, which allowed to optimize the system and select the materials most suitable for it.
