Used at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and Imperial College London. Implemented geometry, aerodynamics (vortex-lattice), structures (beam-element), propulsion (blade-element momentum theory), and flight dynamics (rigid-body integrators) for coupled analyses. Enabled adjoint-based solutions of inverse and optimization problems between disciplines with automatic differentiation. eXtended Design Structure Matrix of features in AeroFuse AeroFuse couples the disciplinary solvers into a single differentiable model, so complete aircraft configurations can be analyzed and optimized from one interface for conceptual and preliminary design.
