SALI - Software for Airframe Loading Investigation

strength analysis; aircraft loading; software

The project SALI follows the activities connected with the integrated project
CESAR of the 6th Frame Program of the European Commission.
The software ALAN was developed in the frame of this project. The goal of the
project SALI is enhancement of versatility of this software, improvement of
calculations, optimization of computational procedures and databases, validation
based on flight tests and first of all preparation for its commercialization. The
important result of the project will be the user's guide and the detailed
analysis of implemented methodology of calculation.
The new software should replace the very successful software SAVLE which was
created in the eighties of the last century. The architecture of this software
does not allow its adaptation to the new possibilities of computer technology;
the accuracy of the dynamic aircraft model doesn´t correspond to the current
knowledge and work with the program is time-consuming. The consortium of the
project partners intends to utilize their experience with the software SAVLE and
ALAN and to create the new software which has the ambition to become a common
software tool for aircraft certification according to regulation CS-23 and which
is accepted by aviation authorities.
The aim is to create flexible, adaptable and extensible software which will help
to accelerate development work, will be able to archive input data and
calculation results transparently and will improve critical aircraft loading
calculation. It will consequently reduce costs of development and modification of
aircraft, will enhance air traffic safety and will optimize airframe weight.
