A Computational Environment for Aircraft Design and Acquisition Engineering

Computational Environment (CE) is a web-based portal designed to simplify running Department of Defense (DoD) modeling and simulation (M&S) tools on the DoD Super Computing Resource Center (DSRC) High Performance Computing (HPC) systems. CE is a portal in which applications (apps) for computational tools are housed. These apps provide a graphical user interface to the M&S tool that simplifies set up, running and reviewing the results of parameter studies. We provide an overview of the recent updates to the CE including the features available in the CE Helios 3.0, Kestrel 1.0 and Galaxy 1.0 apps. These apps are wrappers for the DoD CREATE-AV Helios and Kestrel CFD software and the Galaxy Simulation Builder multi-disciplinary design analysis and optimization software.
