Optimization with Component Intersections

Important

This tutorial is provided as a reference only. DVGeoMulti, the underlying code, is a research code. As such, it is highly experimental and support for it is not guaranteed.

Overview

This is a tutorial for generating collar meshes and performing aerodynamic shape optimization with component intersections. We use the DLR-F6 configuration as the example case.

DLR-F6 configuration

This tutorial requires pySurf in addition to the standard MACH-Aero modules. Before getting started, download the input files by running:

./get-input-files.sh
