the PROPULSION ENGINE
The Propulsion Engine is a general purpose analytical program which focuses on the analysis of geometric and energy systems.
Early
functionality of the program was limited by the ability of computers
and their programs to break up a problem into multiple pieces that can
be solved concurrently.
Today, problems can easily be broken up into threads of thought that
can be done in parallel on more modern computers. The Propulsion Engine
is now built on technology that allows problems to be broken up into
many concurrent threads allowing simulations and FEA to
be performed in minutes, not days or weeks.
Calculations in the Propulsion Engine are performed in accordance with the ANSI/ASTM standard for metric practice with data
in the form of their base SI units. Unit conversions take place at
input and output only.
Persistent data is stored on HDF5 datasets in its base SI form
including self describing metadata. This assures customers will have
access to the information without using proprietary formats or programs.
Text datasets from jobs 30 years ago are all understood by the Propulsion Engine and can be converted to the HDF format.
Some of the current interfaces are:
Hydrostatics and Stability
Propulsion System Optimization
Sea Trial Data Acquisition
Modal analysis
Long term DAQ Logging of engine function etc for simulations
Modeling and Simulation
CNC Database
