CREATE Program and Objectives
 CREATE : 3-phase, 12 year program launched with an OSD FY2008
POM issue funded at ~ $23 M/ year
 9 government-led teams composed of ~ 40 government employees
and ~70 support contractors.
 Develop and deploy multi-physics engineering software applications
that, when used in conjunction with increasingly capable high
performance computing systems, accurately predict the
performance of weapon systems
– To enable trade space optimization of new and retrofit designs
– To avoid costly (time and money) design flaws
 CREATE ultimate—catalyze a revolution in weapon system design
and development methodology
– From reliance on building and testing physical prototypes and full systems
 To virtual prototype design and evaluation
 Followed by physical prototype and full-system validation
 For the DoD Research, Engineering, and Acquisition communities

DaVinci: Conceptual Air Vehicle Design
● Capabilities in Version 2.0
– Enables creation of parametric, associative engineering models of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft
from pre-engineered components (e.g., airfoils, 3-D wing surface, rotor, fuselage, engines)
resulting in mesh-able, NURBS-based surface geometry
– An agile infrastructure that allows building of conceptual design capabilities and tools:


Rapid model development and seamless transition from conceptual design to preliminary-/detailed-level
analysis (e.g., Kestrel/ Firebolt and Helios/ Firebolt products)
Being used for assessments of next-generation AF Cargo Plane

CH-47 Rotorblade
Upgrade
Army / Boeing CH-47 Modeling
● Boeing claims that its new CH-47F rotor blade will have 2,000 lbs. of increased
thrust in hover with no degradation in forward flight performance
– New dihedral-anhedral blade tip shape similar to Comanche rotor
– Wind-tunnel tests completed in 2010
– Flight tests scheduled for 2014 with plans to retrofit new blades into CH-47F models
 Army AFDD and AED are working with Boeing to run Helios simulations for new
CH-47F rotor and fuselage combinations
 CREATE-A/V Helios simulations will reduce risk in the deployment of this new
CH-47F rotor blade by:
– Confirming Boeing’s performance predictions for the isolated rotor prior to flight tests
– Confirming that the rotor/rotor interference and/or rotor/fuselage aerodynamic interactions
don’t adversely affect the performance of the installed rotors … Boeing cannot predict these
interactional aerodynamics effects without using Helios

Use Cases—very useful for
Capturing Requirements
Navy Enhanced Sierra Mechanics
—Ship Shock Analysis
 Example: NESM Development Plan & Requirements Based On
Six (6) Use Cases
– UC I => Ship Response To Standoff UNDEX Where Structure Remains
Predominantly Elastic (minimal damage)-FY10-11
– UC II => Ship Response to UNDEX Causing Moderate Structural DamageFY11-12
– UC III => Ship Response To UNDEX Causing Severe Structural Damage
(including SURFEX)
– UC IV => Ship Response To AIREX Causing Moderate Structural Damage
– UC V => Ship Response To AIREX Causing Severe Structural Damage
– UC VI => Ship Response To Unconventional Weapon Attacks
 Use Case I capability completed in FY2011

CREATE Expanding Customer Base
 Setting up user support organizations
– DoD Aviation Community (AF, NAVAIR, and Army Aviation) setting up a User
Support Consortium (USC) for CREATE AV software applications
– Seed money coming from CREATE/HPCMP
– Tri-Service USC will be funded by DoD Aviation Community
 Strong industry interest in commercial as well as
military use
– Transfer of DoD developed technology to defense industry for commercial as
well as military purposes is DoD Policy (F. Kendall DoD Directive, March, 2012)
– CREATE working with defense industry to define and resolve technology
transfer and intellectual property issues
 Industry use will speed adoption of software
applications

CREATE Making Deployment Progress
 DoD must maintain government use rights and
control of distribution
– Export control designation vetted by DTSA
– Enables FOIA exemption as military Tech Data
 Successfully deployed applications to government
engineers
 Successfully deployed applications to US Defense
Industry under contract to the DoD
 Exploring CRADAs for deployment to US Defense
Industry not under contract to the DoD
 CREATE tools being used by AF Academy
aeronautical engineering students and MIT naval
architecture students
