Geometry Manipulation by Automatic Parameterization (GMAP) (2008)

Introduction

The GMAP Mesh application is a program for  parameterizing and morphing engineering analysis models using a simple abstraction called Morphing Tools. Morphing Tools allow complex geometry changes to be boiled down to a few simple design variables, allowing analysis models to be modified with ease in a parametric trade study or optimization study. Using GMAP Mesh allows one to set up multidisciplinary optimization systems that are completely automated once they have been started, providing time savings over systems that require a “man in the loop.”
