Autodesk Drawing the biggest "solar sails"
It is said that after 20 years of human use will be more than 50% of energy from solar energy. As a scientific exploration, Planet Solar's the first person to completely change the relationship between energy and the promotion of hybrid and electric transportation at the same time, solar energy, such as proof of the enormous renewable energy potential. Ship in the construction of solar power catamaran will be the activities of the world's largest Li-ion batteries, hull 30 meters long, 15 meters beam weighing about 65 tons, will reach 85 tons displacement. In order to be able to adapt to the complexity of the marine environment to meet the requirements of the speed of navigation, the giant catamaran WPC particularly the structure of the complexity of the design also is particularly harsh.
Recently, the world's largest two-dimensional, three-dimensional digital design software company Autodesk (Autodesk Inc.) Germany Planet Solar announced the company sponsored the construction of the world's largest solar-powered boat and plans to achieve the 2010 voyage. This is a people's blood boiling projects - so far the largest solar-powered boat will voyage along the equatorial route, is expected to last 120 days, a range of 20,005 across the 1000 miles (40,000 kilometers), Shade sailand a number of world records to break. Autodesk will provide the strong technical support and services: On the one hand, a leading Autodesk Digital Prototyping solutions to help engineers design a solar-powered voyage for the vessel; On the other hand, the project also the world demonstrated the application of renewable energy prospects and fully reflect the application of the concept of sustainable design.
In order to help the Planet Solar completed quickly and economically design and construction of the hull, Autodesk provides digital prototyping solutions and related training. Planet Solar application engineers of Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk Alias, as well as AutoCAD Electrical and Autodesk Productstream Autodesk for the manufacturing sector such as digital prototyping software solutions, the construction of entities created prior to ship three-dimensional digital model, through simulation, analysis and visualization in pre-production performance testing products, and optimize the design, so as to enhance the design efficiency, effective control of costs, accelerate product innovation and market.
Planet Solar company's engineers are using AutoCAD Mechanical and Autodesk Alias preliminary conceptual design and generation of basic two-dimensional engineering drawings using Autodesk Inventor and the actual structure and the internal structure of the three-dimensional design. Installing the battery components, engine components and solar power system, Planet Solar unified team used Autodesk Inventor, to ensure that different design teams using the same format. In addition, Planet Solar Autodesk software used by the three-dimensional navigation Planet Solar films, to help them successfully found sponsors and partners.
"Like-kind vessel construction projects will be incompatible with the concept of environmental protection," Autodesk Manufacturing Solutions senior vice president of global Robert "Buzz" Kross said, "and our design software can help designers in the design, engineering and manufacturing all key stages in line with sustainable development and make choices. Autodesk digital prototyping solutions to enable engineers to use the least resources in an environmentally sound manner, efficient product development. "
"Technology will allow us to better the planet. We must always ask ourselves, like tomorrow's technology, and the answer given at the same time," the initiators of the project, Planet Solar's president, said Raphael Domjan, " nike shoesWe encourage scientists, engineers and encouraging the development of innovative technologies that will be impossible for us to become a reality. in Autodesk's help, our engineers can ship built in the entity before the simulation and analysis of large numbers, without having to waste time and materials to build expensive physical prototypes. "
This Planet Solar company also re-verify the mechanical engineer and designer of the growing concern of sustainability. By Autodesk and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) jointly launched the first "sustainable design development trend of the annual survey" results showed that two-thirds of respondents have begun to design products with sustainability features. Engineers for more than half of the respondents said they expected to increase next year, they engaged in the number of sustainable design.
