The objective of the Open Digital Environment for Hybrid-Electric Regional Architectures (ODE4HERA) project is to enable and accelerate the development of Hybrid-Electric Regional (HER) aircraft thanks to improved tools and techniques implemented in a transferable and Open Digital Platform (ODP).
HER configurations imply far higher complexity than conventional configurations while involving new aircraft technologies and broader collaboration across the value/supply chain. State-of-the-art digitalization techniques limitations put at risk the achievement of the 2035 HER Entry-Into-Service (EIS) target. To address these challenges, the ODP developed in ODE4HERA will combine MBSE, MDO, SDM and PLM technologies and extend them with novel open interfaces, formats, smart model and data transformation technologies efficiently handling and processing HER configurations complexity, including frontload verification at design stage and virtualize validation for improved virtual certification.
Four innovations will be introduced by the ODE4HERA project:
EnginSoft will implement the Multi-Disciplinary Optimization (MDO) both applied to CAE, as well as to Model Based System Engineering (MBSE), which is increasingly required in the application of Integrated Verification and Validation (IV&V). In addition, EnginSoft will develop Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Simulation Data Management (SDM) interfaces that are crucial for the automation of workflows ensuring the Digital Continuity of the enterprises.

Some of our competences in research and technology transfer
Research project
The project aims to combine performance optimization of company with a strong investment in human capital, creating a highly digitalized business environment to make the company more competitive, efficient and ready to face future challenges: this will be achieved thanks to a more competent and prepared team, through the introduction and use of innovative applications and systems, aimed at simplifying daily processes and operations.
Research project
L’innovatività del progetto GAP consiste nello sviluppo di materiali metallici innovativi, con potenzialità applicative multi-settoriali, incrementate dalla sperimentazione di nuove tecnologie specifiche (utilizzo di anime ceramiche per la pressocolata, trattamenti superficiali, metodologie di giunzione).
Research project
DigiPrime will create and operate a federated model of digital platforms by developing reliable data sharing mechanisms and preserving the confidentiality of business-critical data, governed by smart contracts and using block-chain tracking.
