2 What is? Parametric design tool for aircraft synthesis... Concept Development Preliminary Design Detailed Design Lots of Designs Tradeoff Studies Requirements Optimization In-depth analysis Narrowed to few designs Detailed optimization Detailed analysis Subsystem design & optimization

3 Is... Component-based CAD Conceptual level synthesis tool Tool for tradeoff studies Multidisciplinary Capable of optimization Only part of a complete design diet

4 Is Not... CFD FEM Airfoil Design Tool Primitive-Based CAD (i.e. AutoCAD) Detailed Design Animation Tool Flight Simulator

5 Learning Curve Steep Recommendations: Read the user guide Look at examples (input/output) Experiment Rewarding if mastered

6 Getting Started Things You ll Need Know your mission Have a good three-view Collect as much info about engine Payloads, fixed weights Airfoil type Ballpark estimate of weight

7 Program Kernals Analysis Design Tools Geometry Modeler
