CSCMDO

Abstract

The Coordinate and Sensitivity Calculator for Multi-disciplinary Design Optimization CSCMDO is a general purpose multi-block three-dimensional volume grid generator which is suitable for Multi-disciplinary Design Optimization. The code is timely, robust, highly automated, and written in ANSI "C" for platform independence. Algebraic techniques are used to generate and/or modify block face and volume grids to reflect geometric changes resulting from design optimization. Volume grids are generated/modified in a batch environment and controlled via an ASCII user input deck. This allows the code to be incorporated directly into the design loop. Volume grids have been successfully generated/modified for a wide variety of configurations. CSCMDO is being supported and developed by the GEOmetry LABoratory at the NASA Langley Research Center.
