Hello everyone, for some years I have been dedicating myself to the aircraft design for pure passion. I was originally using Catia v5 and it's a fantastic modeling tool, but expensive and prohibitive. Then a guy (my current professor of flight mechanics) asked me to enroll in aerospace engineering and so I did, even though I was married and working. So I did and now I am missing 4 exams to graduate. But the desire to design planes has never subsided and so I developed a definition in Grasshopper that allows me to draw planes in curvature continuity with a speed that I don't know around. The process is not limited to the design of the forms, but an automated system for the study of performance and stability has been implemented (although it is a work), therefore the goal is a conceptual design very close to the final aircraft. The idea is to implement, in the future, automatic construction of the structure with automatic calculations. It takes a long time and unfortunately university studies slow me down, however, in the aeromodelling or hobby field it can be considered sufficiently evolved as I can also get orders, currents and ribs in a few seconds. A few other model airplanes have tried the service and liked it. I hope my work will be appreciated and of your interest.
Excuse me for my bad english and Thanks for your attention.
