[link] OpenVSP: NASA Open Source Parametric Geometry

Posted 16 January 2012 - 10:02 AM

ttp://www.openvsp.org/

(FYI: VSP = vehicle Sketch Pad)

A nifty project that NASA dumped out on GITHUB... it might help stroked your inner furry-toothed engineer. Ha.

The code's in Windows, Mac, and some 'community edition' which I take as linux.

Here's a link to their manuals and what not.

If anyone gets deep into the code or usage let me know.. I would love to see other perspectives on this.

OpenVSP is a parametric aircraft geometry tool. OpenVSP allows the user to create a 3D model of an aircraft defined by common engineering parameters. This model can be processed into formats suitable for engineering analysis.

The predecessors to OpenVSP have been developed by J.R. Gloudemans and others for NASA since the early 1990's. On January 10 2012, OpenVSP was released as an open source project under the NASA Open Source Agreement (NOSA) version 1.3.
