OpenVSP – NASA Open Source Parametric Geometry

Ferramenta open source da NASA para desenvolvimento de modelo CAD de aeronaves.

Lançamento oficial do projeto open source: Agosto / 2012.

****************************** X ****************************** X ******************************

OpenVSP is a parametric aircraft geometry tool. OpenVSP allows the user to create a 3D model of an aircraft defined by common engineering parameters. This model can be processed into formats suitable for engineering analysis.

The predecessors to OpenVSP have been developed by J.R. Gloudemans and others for NASA since the early 1990’s.
On January 10 2012, OpenVSP was released as an open source project under the NASA Open Source Agreement (NOSA) version 1.3.

We are still in the process of setting up all of the things which allow an open source project to work. In the meantime, get OpenVSP for yourself from the links below.

OpenVSP 2.1.0 for Windows

OpenVSP 2.1.0 for Mac OS X — MacOS users will need to install the libjpeg library.

The OpenVSP source code repository has been made available on Github.

If you aren’t yet a Git user, you should check it out. In the meantime, if you want to download a ZIP archive of the current source, you can always do so from GitHub. Just go to the link above and click this button.

We have also set up a Google Group to host discussion about OpenVSP. If you have any questions, please ask them there.

We now have a wiki, which should allow the OpenVSP community to easily help build this web site into a valulable resource.

Some introductory tutorial videos and a manual have been made available. These should jump-start a new user’s fist experience with VSP.
