Abstract
Within the AeroStruct project an adjoint based optimization framework has been established based on Reynolds averaged Navier Stokes aerodynamics and FEM structural mechanics analysis using the same geometric model. A parametric geometry kernel (Descartes) has been developed on the basis of the CPACS dataformat as the core of the system. The system has been setup in a flexible and modular fashion such that components can be exchanged and the system can be applied to applications needing only a subset of the functionality. This article describes some of the integration details as well as applications with results.
