State Department Lifts ITAR Restrictions on SEER for Manufacturing Aerostructures Plug-in
We are pleased to have received the official notification that Galorath’s Plug-in for Aerostructures, formerly known as the Composites Affordability Initiative Plug-in, has been freed from restrictions for international sales. This means Galorath can offer SEER for Manufacturing – Aerostructures Edition to customers in any country with which the United States allows trade, as well as use by non-US citizens.
Galorath is proud to have worked with several leading American aerospace manufacturers (Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and GE Aircraft Engines) in a major cooperative effort to develop the Aerostructures plug-in. The plug-in provides a method for quickly and accurately evaluating the cost of alternate composite materials and manufacturing processes.
Northrop Grumman, for example, provided a case study showing how SEER-DFM (Now SEER-MFG) helped make critical decisions and save costs on the Joint Strike Fighter.
Another paper discussed how SEER-DFM provides cost savings for aircraft design.
“Galorath’s Composites Affordability Initiative (CAI) model, which is sold separately as an add-in to SEER-DFM (AKA SEER-MFG), provides the most detailed and flexible modeling environment. This model is aerospace-focused, and offers state-of-the-art composites modeling. The CAI plug-in includes Composites Operations, Cure and Trim. Each of these three is treated as a distinct work element type, providing a great level of detail and modeling flexibility. The CAI plug-in also includes non-composite models: Fitup, Drill Operations, Fasten, Paste Bond, E-Beam Assembly, 3-D Reinforcement, Sheet Metal and SPF/DB.”
