Opportunity Elemental is a start-up that aims to develop a zero-emission transport ecosystem through sustainable airships. To design these airships, Elemental initially developed an application to perform airship sizing based on top-level requirements. This initial sizing loop was based on a combination of empirical relations and handbook methods. However, the designers at Elemental have come up with innovative airship configurations that are beyond the traditional methods. Hence, there was a need to bring simulation-driven design to the concept phase and…

This summer a revolutionary new aircraft concept took off on its maiden flight: the Flying-V. This concept, which was originally an idea of TU Berlin student Justus Benand during his thesis project at Airbus Hamburg, has been taken a step further by Dr. Roelof Vos and his team at TU Delft. They designed, built and flew a first scale model. The design team used the ParaPy platform from day one to establish a parametric, rule-based geometry of the aircraft and…

Welcome Shadab, our marketing and content management intern: “I have just graduated from the Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering at TU Delft. I am taking this year before starting my master’s to gain work experience and expand my horizon. That is why I applied for the marketing intern position at ParaPy. I like the creativity and the freedom of this role and how it connects my knowledge of engineering to marketing. One thing I already like is that, because of my engineering background, I was able to start…

Four teams of the best TU Delft students present their parametric design applications created with the ParaPy platform. They show their KBE knowledge on diverse topics such as aerospace, wind energy, maritime, and offshore. …

The Vattenfall Solar Team has been taking advantage of the ParaPy platform to design the optimal aerodynamic shape for their solar cars since the Nuna9 in 2017. We interviewed Max van der Waals, Aerodynamics Engineer for the latest solar car NunaX, about the impact the ParaPy platform has had on their design process. …

We are happy to play corona-proof volleyball again. If you want to join this team in a different type of challenge, we invite you to participate in our free two-day hackathon.…

By selecting ParaPy as a platform, GKN Fokker Aerostructures has been able to create a central multi-disciplinary model for its moveable designs in a joint development project. Read more about it here.…

Take your ParaPy design application to the cloud with secured access for a large user base. ParaPy Hub 1.0 The ParaPy Hub enables you to make your design application securely available to groups of users via the cloud. The Hub gives them access to their own ParaPy environment and computational resources without bothering them with installation and maintenance tasks. Users can get their work done in their own workspaces on (your own) shared resources that can be managed efficiently by…
