About Us

Engineering Excellence
in Every Project

Nova Aerospace Structures Ltd. is here to help. With state-of-the-art equipment and processes, we ensure proper configuration management, security, and a smooth workflow both on-site and off-site. You can rest easy knowing our engineers are specialized in providing support for scheduled critical projects

We currently use the entire suite of MSC-One products. Our engineers also have experience with other applications such as:

  • MSC-Apex – Detailed sub-component level models
  • MSC-Patran/Nastran – Airframe level loads models, global/local models using glue contact, DMIG creation, loads extraction, non-linear, modal, and transient solutions
  • Femap – Airframe level loads models, subcomponent level models, detailed mesh models
  • LS-PrePost/LS-DYNA – Subcomponent level models for linear and non-linear analysis

Specialized Services
for the Aerospace Industry

Does your aircraft have a structural problem but you lack the resources to run it to ground? Are you in need of short-term surge capacity to meet a critical deadline? Don’t fret. The engineers of Nova Aerospace Structures Ltd. can be on-site, ready to help you in completing your project.

Durability & Damage Interiors

Durability Analysis

Fatigue Life Based on Constant Amplitude/Rain-Flow Counted Spectrum
Fatigue analysis is generally sufficient for parts with relatively long lives (>10,000 CYCLES) that are not Principal Structural Elements (PSE). For these analyses, we can determine material medication factors and geometrical stress concentrations. This can be done through classical methods where available or with a detailed Finite Element Model when necessary.

Prescribing Inspection Intervals Using Commercial Software

For parts that are PSE or have relatively short fatigue life (<10,000 CYCLES), we typically complete a more thorough crack growth analysis using the NASGRO software. Our engineers generally use either public domain beta factors or Da/DN curves, but we have the capability to use our client’s information as well. Apart from this, we have experience with providing inputs for determining inspection intervals depending on inspectability for single and multiple initiation sites.

Aircraft Interiors

Aircraft Interiors

• Engineering support for refreshing and reconfiguring your cabin interiors.
• Our team has experience working on interior reconfiguration and monument substantiation for narrow and wide body aircraft. By leveraging our primary structures experience, we can efficiently and effectively provide design and substantiation support to your aircraft interior modification needs. Our experience can aid in identifying risk items and optimal design choices to ensure your modification stays on schedule.
