Statement of Work (SOW) / Performance Work Statement (PWS)

The objective is to develop a mesh generator code that can be executed by MATLAB to create a fluid mesh for the area enclosed between the non-pressure hull and the pressure hull of a 2D model. This will support rapid assessments of future concept design by streamlining the conversion of design data to numerical models.

• Develop a MATLAB code for creating second-order elements in Abaqus format.

• Create a fluid mesh for a 2D model, using the structural model of the non-pressure hull and pressure hull as input.

• Perform Energy Finite Element Analysis (EFEA) simulations using the generated fluid mesh and structural model.

• A MATLAB code for creating 2nd order elements (Computer Software Product).

• A conceptual FE model with 2nd order elements (Conceptual Design Drawings/Models).

• A Technical Report containing PowerPoint documentation on how to execute the code and the example (Technical Report – Study/Services).

• Six months starting from the date of award.

• None explicitly stated beyond the deliverables and period of performance.

Other / Unclassified

This document is a "Memorandum For File" serving as a Non-Competitive Procurement Justification Memo for Actions Under SAT. It details the rationale for soliciting a requirement from a single source, Michigan Engineering Services, LLC (MES).

This justification memo is relevant to potential bidders as it explains why the opportunity is being offered on a sole-source basis. It specifies that MES will develop a mesh generator code for fluid mesh creation in a 2D model, with a period of performance of six months. The justification is based on MES being the sole developer and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the Energy Finite Element Analysis (EFEA) code, which is required for the project and is only available from MES due to exclusive licensing agreements and proprietary rights. This indicates that other potential bidders would not be able to fulfill this specific requirement.
