CORE FEATURES
Import custom surface meshes, or build them parametrically. Assign them to a reference frame, and make it move. And rotors build themselves!
Choose the fidelity level: from one-dimensional lifting line to fully three-dimensional objects, choose the right model for the required fidelity, for each component, all in the same simulation.
Choose the Fast-Multipole optimized particle wake to simulate complex interactions among wakes and with solid bodies, with exceptional robustness.
Designed from scratch to deliver mid-fidelity aerodynamics analysis at workstation level, with no requirements for cluster-level resources.
AVAILABLE AERODYNAMIC ELEMENTS
The code incorporates various classical potential based elements like lifting lines, surface panels, linear vortex lattice elements, and non-linear vortex lattice elements.
DUST comprises a solver, a preprocessor and a post processor.
The preprocessor accepts meshes in CGNS format or in simple point-connectivity definition, or builds the geometry from parametric definitions.
The whole geometry generated by the preprocessor, alongside the definition of reference frames and their motion is the input of the solver, which computes the solution and generates the results.
The results are then employed by the postprocessor, which elaborates the data according to the user requests.
