How Elemental uses ParaPy to shape the future of airship transport
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

How ParaPy helped to get the Flying-V ready for take-off
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

Finally playing (corona-proof) volleyball again!
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. We are excited to welcome the summer and work hard to help our clients with their automation challenges while staying at 1.5m distance 😉.

We asked the Vattenfall Solar Team if ParaPy helped their car design process. Here’s what they had to say.
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. What is so challenging about designing a new Nuna car every year? Every other year the Bridgestone

10x more efficient design process for GKN Fokker Aerostructures’ aircraft movables
Background GKN Fokker Aerostructures is market and technology leading in lightweight aircraft structures and components for helicopters, business jets, advanced fighter aircraft, and large passenger aircraft. As time and resources are limited in typical aircraft development programs, GKN Fokker Aerostructures can only perform a limited amount of design studies. That means that potential product improvements are not fully explored. This is no exception for one of GKN Fokker Aerostructures’ primary business

How MTC designs a scale model of an innovative building skeleton in a matter of minutes
Opportunity The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) performs R&D on innovations that still have to bridge the gap between academia and industry. One such innovation is a type of concrete reinforcement: steel sheets instead of the traditional rebars. A potential application for sheet-reinforced concrete is the construction of buildings. That is why MTC wanted to be able to design and analyze the concrete skeleton (floor slabs and columns) for buildings of any shape and size. Already familiar with the power of the ParaPy platform from earlier
