Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli adopts Siemens Xcelerator-as-a-Service for America's Cup yacht design - Smart Industry

Siemens Digital Industries Software announced that the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli America's Cup squad is utilizing the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of bundle and services to design, simulate and optimize its racing yacht for the forthcoming America’s Cup challenge.

“The Siemens Xcelerator-as-a-Service portfolio provides captious tools to Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli that let the squad to design, analyse and measure each aspects of the boat’s hydraulics and fluid-dynamic performance,” said Matteo Ledri, caput of CFD, Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Team. “Using Siemens’ software, the hull, foils, rudder and sails tin beryllium analyzed arsenic portion of the integer twin, to recognize however each aboveground responds to the changes successful the task parameters, frankincense speeding up our work.”

The hull, foils, rudder and sails are designed and analyzed virtually utilizing Simcenter STAR CCM+ bundle to recognize however sails, hull and the analyzable hydrodynamics of the hydrofoil respond to the changes successful the task parameters. Simcenter Amesim bundle is utilized to simulate each on-board hydraulic lines and optimize performance, an indispensable facet fixed that on-board hydraulic powerfulness for the aerial parts of the vessel is generated by 4 cyclors utilizing pedal power. 

Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli is besides taking vantage of Xcelerator Share, the cloud-based collaboration capableness successful Siemens Xcelerator arsenic a Service, to efficaciously negociate accrued plan complexity, amended manufacturing repeatability crossed the increasing fig of parts undergoing thousands of engineering changes per year, some successful and retired of racing season. In the highly competitory America’s Cup environment, these precocious signifier statement capabilities and high-fidelity CFD simulations of an utmost people of sailing boats let the squad to conscionable their needs connected the timetables demanded by planetary racing competitions, the partners say.

Siemens Xcelerator arsenic a Service enables a precocious grade of automation, truthful the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli team tin afloat leverage the powerfulness of modern high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, moving thousands of simulations per time to rapidly research the characteristics of caller designs successful antithetic biology conditions. In addition, Siemens provides a dedicated enactment work to assistance the squad successful extracting the maximum worth retired of their investment. The statement besides includes Siemens’ NX software, which Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli licensed to commencement evaluating its imaginable with a presumption to its aboriginal introduction.

“The Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli team’s enactment of Siemens Xcelerator arsenic a Service is different impervious constituent that organizations astatine the bleeding borderline of innovation are utilizing our solutions to bring their ideas to beingness and find caller areas for existent innovation,” said Franco Megali, vice president and CEO Italy, Israel and Greece, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “Whether that’s teams competing successful the world’s astir utmost sailing races, taking caller vehicles to the borderline of abstraction oregon gathering a much sustainable aboriginal for america all, pioneers are choosing our solutions.”
