The Aero Modeling module is where you create, modify and manage the aerodynamic model(s) that you subsequently couple to a structure for aeroelastic analysis. All modeling functions for aerodynamics are found within this module. The Aero Modeling module is divided into four areas that are available by selecting one of the ellipsis buttons at the bottom of the form:
• Model Management - Collects groups of aerodynamic entities (lifting surfaces and bodies) into SuperGroup(s). Each SuperGroup is an aerodynamic model (section 3.3).
• Flat Plate Aero Modeling - Provides the geometric definition and meshing for the aerodynamic model (section 3.4).
• Control Devices - Provides the control device (e.g., flap, elevator, aileron, etc.) information for the model, as well as operational limits (section 3.5).
• Aero Monitor Points - Provides the ability to create, delete, modify, or show the aero monitor points (section 3.6).
• Options - Provides basic default parameters and system behavior for model creation (section 3.2).
