The Next generation Conceptual Aero Structural Sizing (NeoCASS) suite is developed to enlarge the scope of aero-structural analysis tools and bring higher fidelity methods at conceptual design stage. Its main features are adaptative-fidelity panel methods, CFD aerodynamics, buffet prediction and non-linear stick structural analysis tools in a CAD centric environment.
