SA Evolution
Scientific Fibre Layout Design
Scientific Fibre Layout Design
SA Evolution brings a new level of science to the ‘art’ of fibre layout design. By virtually simulating the aero-elastic behavior of sails in up-wind sailing conditions, comparing alternative fibres and layouts, and analyzing the resulting sail shapes, the optimal fibre layout distribution can be achieved.
SA Evolution is available either as a Design Consultancy Service (undertaken by us on your behalf, based on your submitted design), or as an additional tool, to be used by you in conjunction with Azure P

Analysis modules: Flex
Sail shape analysis and optimization
Sail shape analysis and optimization
Flex is a unique software module enabling leading sail designers to create fast sails. It gives you control of a robust optimization method that explores the complex interaction between wind and flexible sailshapes.
Flex enables the aerodynamic, structural and aeroelastic analysis of upwind sails.

Analysis module: Flow
Sail analysis and optimization
Sail analysis and optimization
AzureFlow is the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) module of AzureProject it enables sail designers to design and produce fast sails. Upwind sail configurations can be simulated in the desired sailing and trim conditions. By examining the sail forces generated by the proposed sail designs, sail designers can optimise mould shape and trim.
AzureVision
3D visualization of sailplan and rig
3D visualization of sailplan and rig
AzureVision was developed to simplify and improve communications between sail-designers and their customers, either directly or in-directly, via professional and sales networks. With AzureVision your customers can open files and visualise the sails from any possible angle or perspective. AzureVision can also display sail shapes (optimized using AzureProject) by adding in pressure maps and flying sail-shapes.
AzureAgent
An app for gathering measurement data
An app for gathering measurement data
AzureAgent is an app running on Tablets to allow the entry of the rig information which can then be passed electronically to the sail designer. The app will automatically create a file in AzureProject with the necessary data.
It's available for Android, iOS and Windows platforms, to be downloaded from Apple and Android app stores. Recommended size of screen is 7’’ or above. Only compatible with AzureDesign and above (Annual or Perpetual Licence).
