ASRI Advances the Aerospace Community in South Africa With Ansys Software
The Aerospace Systems Research Institute (ASRI) aims to support the development of South Africa’s advanced manufacturing base while inspiring the next generation of aerospace engineers. In pursuit of these goals, the ASRI team is working on multiple award-winning projects, including the Phoenix Hybrid Sounding Rocket Program (HSRP), which focuses on advancing propulsion technology, vehicle design, and motor fabrication, and SAFFIRE, a modular and compact 27 kN pump-fed liquid propellant rocket engine powered by kerosene and liquid oxygen-driven electro-pumps, designed to enable sovereign orbital-class vehicles.
Driving Innovation Through High-Fidelity Simulation
“With our limited resources, Ansys has been an invaluable tool for us as it allows us to check and simulate everything, even before the components are sent for manufacturing. It has allowed us to cut down on development time and testing numerous physical iterations, which can be prohibitively expensive.”
