Challenge

Develop a safe, jet-powered exoskeleton that enables humans to fly and hover with hands free in order to complete tasks while hovering.

Solution

Utilize SOLIDWORKS for Entrepreneurs and 3DEXPERIENCE Works solutions, including SOLIDWORKS Premium design, SOLIDWORKS Simulation Topology Studies, SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis, Collaborative Business Innovator, Collaborative Industry Innovator, 3D Creator, and Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS.

Results

  • Optimized jet nozzles with flow simulation
  • Reduced part weight via topology optimization
  • Secured patent for thrust vector nozzle
  • Realized automated, transparent data management

“We initially wanted to try out the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to see how it works. However, once we started using it, we discovered just how much easier data management is on the cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE platform. It’s so much easier to maintain revision control and manage design data on the platform that we simply cannot go back to the old way of managing data locally.”
