VABS™ is a general-purpose efficient, yet accurate cross-sectional analysis tool for computing beam properties and recovering 3D stresses/strains of slender composite structures. It is a powerful tool for modeling composite helicopter, air mobility, and wind turbine rotor blades, as well as other slender composite structures, such as propellers, landing gear, and high-aspect ratio wings.
Truly arbitrary geometries accommodated. No need for oversimplified approximation of real structures.
VABS has no restrictions on material properties and can handle any material including isotropic, orthotropic, or general anisotropic materials.
VABS can capture ply-level details of composite slender structures with 3D FEA fidelity at the speed of simple engineering beam models.
VABS enables fast, accurate simulation of composite slender structures—like golf club shafts, fishing rods, medical devices, and satellites. It calculates ply-level details and 3D stress/strain recovery with efficiency, outperforming traditional 3D FEA models.
