High-Fidelity-based MDO: A Closer Look at the Selected Sub-Processes Overall Aircraft Design Synthesis, Loads Analysis, and Structural Optimization

Within the DLR project VicToria various high fidelity-based MDO processes were set-up as applicalble methods for aircraft design. Apart from aerodynamic optimization using high fidelity-based CFD analysis, the sub-processes overall aircraft design synthesis, loads analysis, and structural optimization were part of the MDO processes. The presented paper expounds such MDO sub-processes in order to exhibit their contributions and capabilities for the respected MDO process.
