To democratize the deployment of advanced simulation technologies for the development of the new generation of Military Aircraft Programs in Airbus, new integrated software tools are developed at Airbus. One of these tools, called INFERNAL, is able to generate high-fidelity simulations for aircraft riveted joints to predict fatigue cracking for realistic complex scenarios .
