Etude et conception

La recherche et le dévélopement ont une importance vitale dans la philosophie du groupe One Sails, et toutes les voileries locales peuvent accéder à des études de soufflerie virtuelle (CFD) très sophistiqués.

Le CFD simule sur un ordinateur l’écoulement du fluide (l’air) autour des profils des voiles, et mésure les forces de portance et trainée génerées par chaque configuration de la voilure, permettant ainsi la mise au point des formes, des plans de voilure et des réglages.

De plus, ces logiciels analysent la structure de la voile en calculant les déformations causées par les efforts aérodynamiques, aussi bien que l’intéraction de la voile avec le gréement. Cela permet entre autre à One Sails d’intéragir avec les gréeurs pour ressoudre tous les problèmes de façon plus efficace.

La recherche est un des points de force du groupe One Sails, et les outils CFD dont nous disposons sont les instruments de notre travail quotidien.

OneSails est un partenaire de BSG, une des sociétés leader du marché mondial des logiciels de dessin et analyse de voiles.
