“…An example of this is mesh generation. IMOO implements automatic mesh generation and morphing through advanced parametric geometry and grid technology for multidisciplinary modeling [57]. M4 Engineering has developed a parametric grid morphing tool, geometry manipulation by automatic parameterization (GMAP [58]), and a parametric finite element analysis (FEA) model generator for internal structures (RapidFEM [59]).…”

Research on aircraft morphing has exploded in recent years. The motivation and driving force behind this has been to find new and novel ways to increase the capabilities of aircraft. Materials advancements have helped to increase possibilities with respect to actuation and, hence, a diversity of concepts and unimagined capabilities. The expanded role of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has provided an ideal platform for exploring these emergent morphing concepts since at this scale a greater amount of risk can be taken, as well as having more manageable fabrication and cost requirements. This review focuses on presenting the role UAVs have in morphing research by giving an overview of the UAV morphing concepts, designs, and technologies described in the literature. A presentation of quantitative information as well as a discussion of technical issues is given where possible to begin gaining some insight into the overall assessment and performance of these technologies.

“…Lastly, the module will determine mass properties of the structure and property regions as well as provide a margin summary of the optimized structure. As design variables change (i.e., a trade study execution), the Structural Module can invoke RapidFEM by utilizing the Geometry Object to generate a new finite element model; or the Structural Module can use the Geometry Object to call GMAP 5 to morph an existing finite element model. The Structural Module executes the RapidFEM capability with the Geometry Object as the pre-processor to create the finite element model including distributed fuel and payload weight with the linear aero model and analysis conditions.…”

“…Both the data and the methods reside in the object and downstream modules request the data when needed. HFMDO implements automatic mesh generation and morphing through advanced parametric geometry and grid technology for multidisciplinary modeling 5 . M4 Engineering has developed a parametric grid morphing tool, Geometry Manipulation by Automatic Parameterization (GMAP) 6 and a parametric FEA model generator for internal structures (RapidFEM 7 ).…”
