AeroStruct: Enable and Learn How to Integrate Flexibility in Design : Contributions to the Closing Symposium of the German Research Initiative AeroStruct, October 13-14, 2015, Braunschweig, Germany : Springer : 9783319720197 : 3319720198 : 31 Jan 2018 : This book reports on the German research initiative AeroStruct, a three-year collaborative project between universities and the aircraft industry. It describes the development of an integrated multidisciplinary simulation environment for aircraft analysis and optimization using high-fidelity methods. This system is able to run at a high level of automatism, thus representing a step forward with respect to previous ones. Its special features are: a CAD description that is independent from the disciplines involved, an automated CFD mesh generation and an automated structure model generation including a sizing process. The book also reports on test cases by both industrial partners and DLR demonstrating the advantages of the new environmen
