To all of our SUAVE friends,

Our core team and affiliates have the pleasure of announcing the release of SUAVE version 0.9. At SciTech 2017 we presented our work towards integrating CFD simulations in SU2 from SUAVE in an automated way. With this release, we want to provide to you the ability to perform the same types of analyses. We've jumped several versions ahead from the last release, this is an indication of how much the code has matured. We suggest all users update their SUAVE packages to take advantage of these changes.

The big improvements for version 0.9 are:

  • SU2 interface
  • OpenVSP API connectivity to create vehicles from SUAVE
  • Automatic mesh generation using GMSH interface
  • Aerodynamic model regression using scikit-learn
  • Methods to compute industrial costs
  • SUAVE Core rewrite to boost speed by over 30%
  • New open source license, LGPL-2.1, the same as SU2
  • Results files are now saved as JSON files rather than PKL for portability
  • Many bug fixes and code cleanups
  • And much, much more!

Sincerely,

The SUAVE Team
