Analysis Driven Shape Design of Parametric Geometry Using B-Splines and Free-Form Deformation

This thesis presents a method for local aerodynamic shape optimization to morph parametric geometry. The goal is a general framework for analysis driven shape design that combines CAD-like parametric solid model geometry construction with free-form-like local deformation. One method explored uses th...
