Blackbox

Blackbox streamlines high-fidelity aerodynamic data generation process to facilitate various surrogate modeling applications, reducing the time and complexity associated with setting up complex analysis chains. Blackbox currently supports airfoil data generation with CST and FFD parameterization, as well as wing data generation with FFD parameterization. Additionally, an aerostructural module is in active development. Explore the respective sections for detailed information on airfoil and wing data generation. Blackbox can also run on High-Performance Computing resources, refer that section for more details.
