SUAVE is a conceptual level aircraft design environment built with the ability to analyze and optimize both conventional and unconventional designs. This capability is achieved in part by allowing analysis information for aircraft to be drawn from multiple sources. Many other software tools for aircraft conceptual design rely on fixed empirical ...
Tutorials. These are tutorials for SUAVE. The tutorials will then help you get started with SUAVE. We recommend starting with the Boeing 737-800 tutorial and then moving to the Regional Jet Optimization or the Turbofan Network tutorial. These will allow you to explore the capabilities of SUAVE. If you haven't already downloaded the latest ...
SUAVE 2.5.0. The Latest in Aerospace Design. This release has numerous changes. Unfortunately, some interfaces have been altered to support all these changes. We tried to make these interface alterations as user friendly and intuitive as possible. The next major release will be a 3.0 with significant changes.
Open a command prompt, in a directory that you want to start the repository (for example in the SUAVE_Project folder), and run the git clone command. git clone <git url>. Now you should have the source code. Change directory into the trunk folder and run a developer installation command. python3 setup.py develop.
Download and extract the release archive. Open the directory SUAVE/trunk. Open a command prompt in that directory. Run this command: python3 setup.py install. If you are on a linux or mac, you may need to run. sudo python3 setup.py install. Change to any other folder, open a python shell, and test the new module with the command import SUAVE.
Documentation. SUAVE is fully documented through doxygen. However, some starter high level documentation is available on the left. We suggestion you read the high level information before jumping into the Doxygen based documentation. Download.
Blended Wing Body with CFD - SUAVE Tutorial. Blended Wing Body using CFD. The purpose of this tutorial is to show the analysis settings used to generate geometry, a mesh, and run CFD via SU2 from SUAVE. It will also show how to add individual wing segments. We assume you are familiar with SUAVE and have some CFD experience already.
Next is the SUAVE imports. SUAVE is imported directly first, which allows us to grab individual SUAVE classes later on without importing each one at the top. Next, the Data and Units modules are imported. Data is a SUAVE-specific data structure that operates much like a dictionary but has some special features as described in the comments.

Basic eVTOL Analysis. This video shows one way to setup an eVTOL aircraft for basic analysis. This configuration was chosen to be dissimilar to existing eVTOL models, yet be able to highlight how to use SUAVE. Download.
