Aircraft Cabin Modeler
Providing a suitable thermal environment for the passengers onboard an
aircraft is a basic requirement, which contributes to passenger comfort
in medium and long range flights. As part of Designing the Environment
Control System of an airplane capable of delivering a comfortable environment
inside the cabin for a wide spectrum of ambient climatic conditions, the
influence of air flow and geometrical parameters on the thermal comfort
of passengers must be studied.
In line with performing such studies for the CRJ700 aircraft cabin,
Bombardier engineers needed a tool that could parametrically create air
craft cabin. Some of the parameters were the number of seats, the seat
positions, emergency exit seating, window positions, storage and kitchen
compartment positions and bulkhead location. The mesh had to be all
hexahedral to keep the number of cells down.
