Parameterized Space Shuttle Wing

[Mr. Hristo Valtchanov 1]

Hello,

 

I've attached a sample parameterized space shuttle wing. The wing is created using a metasurface,  which allows the user to define an arbitrary leading edge shape, thickness profile, and sweep angle.

 

 

This sample is unique because it shows how basic internal structural components can be modeled and parameterized. 

 

 

Ribs are created by cutting out the intersection of a series of parallel planar surfaces with the wing surface. Stringers are created by sweeping a predefined stringer section along planar intersections of the wing surface. Feature definitions are created in order to automate the creation of the internal structural components.

 

 

Stringer and rib spacing are parameterized, as are the stringer section and rib angle of incidence. This sample makes use of the Brep functionality to create the automatically updated translationally periodic intersections. 

 

Cheers,

 

Hristo.

Hi All,

 

the BRep functionality that Hristo is mentioning in his post will be part of the upcoming 3.1 release of CAESES and he was lucky enough to be able to use it already because he is our intern ;)

 

In case you want to have a look at the attached project file, you will have to wait for the release, which should be out soon. I'll let you know in this thread.

 

Cheers,

Mattia

Hey folks,

 

since we released our new version CAESES 3.1 you can now make use of the new Brep functionallity.

 

Take a look at this great project and there are also some samples included in the release version CAESES 3.1.

 

Here you can download it, if you haven't done it yet. It is available for linux and windows.

 

Take advantage of the new features. They are also included in the free version.

 

Have fun playing around and I am looking forward to see your projects created in CAESES 3.1.

 

Cheers,

 

Karsten
