What it can do

  • Inspects and validates AVL geometry, references, controls and file dependencies against a mesh budget before running.
  • Runs a prescribed condition with loads and stability and body-axis derivatives.
  • Trims alpha and one control for target CL and Cm, including from mass, airspeed and CG inputs, and checks each trim independently.
  • Compares coefficients across refined meshes, and runs sweeps of up to 10,000 conditions as resumable background jobs with CSV output.

Limitations

  • Doesn't expose eigenmodes, general geometry editing, graphics, CAD conversion or OpenVSP comparison.
  • AVL isn't bundled; you build or supply an AVL 3.52 executable yourself.
  • Other platforms, including Windows, are unverified.
