What does CoDA do?
- CoDA is based on several years' research at NPL that included experimental validation, which means that its results can be relied upon.
- CoDA is available as seven independent, but integrated, modules. Further modules are being developed and validated.
- CoDA can be used to undertake preliminary analysis of sub-components with Plate, Beam, Joint, Flange or Laminate geometries.
- CoDA can also synthesise the properties of composite materials, laminates and sandwich structures, which can be used in a seamless manner within the design modules.
- The latest version includes a wealth of new features, both in analysis capabilities and user interface. The CoDA software is a professional, reliable, indispensable tool for preliminary engineering design.
Key Benefits
- The integration of the modules allows for the effect of changes on any input parameter (e.g. fibre properties) or laminate parameters (e.g. fibre angles, skin thickness) to be instantaneously assessed.
- In addition, four modules have unique parametric add-ons that allow "what if" scenarios to be rapidly evaluated graphically, viewing any output result as a function of variable input data.
- Getting familiar with the software is easy, although new advanced features may necessitate the use of the excellent on-screen or printed documentation. The speed at which preliminary design can be completed reliably will be a welcome surprise.
