Welcome to AeroFrame’s documentation!

AeroFrame (Aeroelastic Framework) is a modular framework for partitioned aeroelastic analyses. The framework couples separate solvers for structure and CFD. It coordinates the analysis and the exchange of loads and deformations. Currently, AeroFrame supports static aeroelastic analyses.
