A multi-disciplinary analysis and optimization code for a 2-D elastic nozzle problem.
The flow is analyzed using quasi-1D Euler equations, and the nozzle structure is modeled using Euler-Bernoulli beam elements.
The analysis code is written in C++ and an API is exposed to Python via Boost.
The multi-disciplinary problem is formulated using both the Multidisciplinary Feasible (MDF) and Individual Discipline Feasible (IDF) coupling architectures.
The optimization problem is solved using the Kona library.
