The Aeroelastic Module is used first to couple the aerodynamic and structural models and subsequently to perform aeroelastic analyses. The module is separated into four areas that are selectable by clicking on one of the ellipsis buttons at the bottom of the form:
• Aero-Structure Coupling - Couples the aerodynamic and structural models. In this module you can create, modify and verify your coupling model that relates the aerodynamic and structural meshes. A number of splining (coupling) methods are available (See Appendix B).
• Struc. Monitor Points - Used to represent summations of forces. In this module you can create and modify your monitor points.
• Aeroelastic Model - User selects the structural and aerodynamic models for use in the current analysis, as well as the associated splines. Structural and aerodynamic parameters that are associated with the model (as opposed to subcase specific parameters) are also defined here.
• Analysis - User selects the analysis type, defines one or more conditions (subcases) and submits the job.
