- Mengmeng Zhang from KTH has published a licentiate thesis called "Application and Development of the CEASIOM-SUMO-EDGE Suite for Rapid AeroData Assessment of Aircraft Flying Qualities", directed by Prof. Arthur Rizzi.
- A. Rizzi, J. Oppelstrup, M. Zhang and M. Tomac from KTH have published an article called "Coupling Parametric Aircraft Lofting to CFD & CSM Grid Generation for Conceptual Design" for the 49th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting. It deals with the coupling of CEASIOM with the conceptual design system RDS Professional.
- Maria Pester from HAW has published a master's thesis called "Multi-Disciplinary Conceptual Aircraft Design using CEASIOM", directed by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dieter Scholz.
- Kolja Seeckt from KTH wrote a report called "Application of PreSTo: Aircraft Preliminary Sizing and Data Export to CEASIOM". It deals witht the coupling of CEASIOM with the Preliminary Sizing Tool PreSTO.
The CEASIOM application is a Conceptual Aircraft design tool. It was developed within the frame of the SimSAC (Simulating Aircraft Stability And Control Characteristics for Use in Conceptual Design) Specific Targeted Research Project (STREP) approved for funding by the European Commission 6th Framework Programme on Research, Technological Development and Demonstration. Work began 1 November 2006 and last 3 years (see www.simsacdesign.eu). The SimSAC project aims at significantly enhancing CEASIOM functionality by introducing software that initially focuses on rapid low fidelity analysis, and as appropriate, resort to higher fidelity numerical simulations. Moreover CEASIOM involve stability and control driven sizing and optimization earlier in the design cycle than is standard practice today.
CEASIOM runs under either Windows or Linux, and its only requires a MATLAB® license.
A poster and an online tutorial dedicated to CEASIOM are available.
