Abstract

The paper addresses issues related to the development of a geometrical modelling system and its connection with shape parameterisation and computational grid update. In particular, it is thought that the use of parameterisations based on the modification of an existing shape instead to exploit the direct representation of the geometry results in an increase of flexibility and accuracy. Selected examples related to aircraft design illustrate the capability of the system.
