Wave6 is the vibro-acoustic simulation solution from Dassault Systèmes. This presentation highlights a selection of representative industrial applications in the aerospace and defence (A&D) sector, demonstrating how customers use Wave6 to address complex vibro-acoustic modelling challenges.

Applications from both the aerospace and space industries will be presented.

For aircraft, reducing interior noise is essential in both the cockpit, where speech intelligibility and regulatory compliance are critical, and the passenger cabin, where acoustic comfort is a key design objective. Engine noise can be mitigated through the use of acoustic liners in the nacelle, while additional noise control treatments may be applied to the airframe and fairings. The effectiveness of these solutions must be carefully balanced against their impact on weight, cost, and overall aircraft performance.

In the space industry, launch vehicles, payloads, and fairings are exposed to extremely high acoustic loads during lift-off, generating severe vibration levels that can lead to fatigue and structural failure. In addition, separation events—such as stage separation or satellite deployment—often involve pyrotechnic devices that produce intense high-frequency shock and vibration. Accurately predicting these dynamic environments is essential to ensure structural integrity and mission success.
