GENEPI’s five work packages, with support from Région Sud, Bpifrance and the French Government through France 2030. Project endorsed by Pôle SAFE.

We are proud to announce that GENEPI, our simulation software for flexible and inflatable wings, has been selected under the PIA4 – Projets d’innovation program.

A warm thank you to Région Sud - Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Bpifrance, and the French Government for their trust and support through the France 2030 program.

This support will allow us to accelerate the development of GENEPI across five key work packages: from geometry reconstruction and FSI modelling to faster analysis tools, multi-fidelity design methods, and experimental validation.

We are also grateful to the Pôle SAFE, the aeronautics competitiveness cluster, which endorsed the project and highlighted that:

“The environmental impacts of the project could be major, particularly in the area of maritime propulsion.”

Our ambition is clear: to make advanced fluid-structure interaction tools accessible to engineers designing flexible wings - from paragliders and kites in the sport sector, to maritime propulsion, airborne wind energy, aerospace, and defence applications.

We are excited to keep pushing the evolution of FSI tools for flexible wings, and to help turn complex aeroelastic phenomena into practical design capabilities.
