Abstract

Kapania et al. at Virginia Tech proposed the concept of reducing the weight of aircraft wings using unconventional design of the internal structure consisting of curvilinear spars and ribs (known as SpaRibs) for enhanced performance. A research code, EBF3GLWingOpt, was developed by the Kapania Group. at Virginia Tech to find the best configuration of SpaRibs in terms of weight saving for given flight conditions. The code is developed in Python language and it has parallel computational capabilities. The wing is modeled using commercial FEA software, MSC.PATRAN and analyzed using MSC.NASTRAN which are from within EBF3GLWingOpt. This presentation is a manual for installation and running this code.
