Introduction

Astros AIM Overview

A module in the Computational Aircraft Prototype Syntheses (CAPS) has been developed to interact (primarily through input files) with the finite element structural solver Astros.

An outline of the AIM's inputs, outputs and attributes are provided in AIM Inputs and AIM Outputs and Astros AIM attributes, respectively.

The accepted and expected geometric representation and analysis intentions are detailed in Geometry Representation and Analysis Intent.

Details of the AIM's shareable data structures are outlined in AIM Shareable Data if connecting this AIM to other AIMs in a parent-child like manner.

Details of the AIM's automated data transfer capabilities are outlined in Astros Data Transfer
