Landing Gear

LMS Virtual.Lab Landing Gear helps engineers build detailed aircraft landing gear models that simulate real-life performance. Users can assess multiple design alternatives and optimize aircraft models before constructing the prototype. Developed in cooperation with aircraft and landing gear manufacturers, this solution addresses specific landing gear engineering challenges and predicts total system loads for typical aircraft movements.

This dedicated simulation solution for landing gear systems allows development teams to build detailed aircraft landing gear models that reliably simulate real-life performance. Team members can quickly assess multiple design alternatives and optimize aircraft designs before constructing the prototype. Developed in close cooperation with several aircraft and landing gear manufacturers, LMS Virtual.Lab Landing Gear addresses specific landing gear engineering challenges and predicts total system loads for typical aircraft movements, such as landing, taxiing, and take-off.

LMS Virtual.Lab Landing Gear provides team members with detailed insight into landing gear dynamic behavior and overall performance in terms of reliability, stability and safety. During landing, take-off and taxiing maneuvers, the landing gear assembly must absorb huge amounts of energy without generating reaction forces that exceed the dynamic loads envelope. Dynamic motion simulation – using rigid as well as flexible bodies – help engineers to tune the landing gear design and reach the targeted dynamic characteristics. LMS Virtual.Lab Landing Gear also assesses new system design responses to extreme and failure load cases, an aspect where physical tests are either too dangerous or too costly.

This application interface was developed on top of Virtual.Lab Motion by using Visual Basic for Application (VBA) scripting capabilities and can be customized and reproduced for any other similar user needs.
