Abstract

The geometry mathematics of the Design Layout Module of the RDS-Professional aircraft design software is described. This includes the modeling mathematics employed for surfaces and local coordinate systems, the use of an expanded version of the RP8A category numbers as a way to couple design and analysis, and the use of this modeling framework to implement automatic geometric redesign from sizing and MDO results.
