Aerodynamic Analysis for the Design Environment (AANDE). Volume 2. User's Manual

Abstract

This report is part of the documentations that describe the complete development of the 'Aerodynamic ANalysis for the Design Environment (AANDE)'. It is one of the three manuals that comprise the final report. The remaining reports consist of the AANDE User's Manual (Volume II) and the AANDE Programmer's Manual (Volume III). The objective of the AANDE effort was to establish high quality reliable airloads for multidisciplinary design in ASTROS. This was accomplished by providing: a new steady linear aerodynamic procedure, alternate paths for the import of aerodynamic influence coefficient matrices and nonlinear pressure data, and a general asymmetric maneuver trim procedure. This manual details the capabilities integrated into ASTROS: ASTROS multi-database environment enabled, aerodynamic model architecture enables model integration, static load parameters implemented, 3-D aerodynamics in QUADPAN implemented, 3-D spline developed, Substructuring in Structures and Aerodynamics implemented, 6 DOF trim for steady aeroelastic analysis enabled, general control surface scheduling implemented and trim optimization developed for redundant controllers.
