As a member of the Zodiac Emergency Arresting Systems Division (EASD), Engineered Arresting Systems Corporation creates technology that stops motion, absorbs energy and promotes safety. The EASD is the world's leading supplier of emergency land-based arresting systems for military and commercial aircraft. Increasing the amount of dynamic modeling and the effects on equipment will lead to more efficient designs by eliminating excess weight and complicated design challenges without reducing safety or functionality.
Engineered Arresting Systems Corporation's commitment to saving lives and protecting high value assets means that expensive full scale physical tests have always been required. With current full scale testing exceeding $70,000 per day, any delay can quickly raise the cost of testing and extend testing time to unacceptable levels. The company will be using Adams to virtually exercise designs to ensure component optimization and performance confidence before any testing is performed. Adams is a perfect fit for ESCO's push towards innovation and commitment to being the global leader in mastering safety in motion.
Rich Orner, Vice President of Engineering at ESCO, stressed the importance of having a powerful tool such as Adams at its disposal: "In today's economy, it is critical to reduce time to market, reduce physical testing, increase quality, and meet rapidly changing customer requirements in order to maintain Engineered Arresting Systems' place as the world leader in energy absorption equipment. Using Adams' simulation and optimization capabilities will help us to achieve our objectives."
