FAST-OAD is a framework for performing rapid Overall Aircraft Design.
It proposes multi-disciplinary analysis and optimisation by relying on the OpenMDAO framework.
FAST-OAD allows easy switching between models for a same discipline, and also adding/removing disciplines to match the need of your study.
Currently, FAST-OAD is bundled with models for commercial transport aircraft of years 1990-2000. Other models will come, and you may create your own models and use them instead of bundled ones.
More details can be found in the official documentation.
Note:
Since version 1.0, FAST-OAD aims at providing a stable core software to propose a safe base for development of custom models.
Models in FAST-OAD are still a work in progress.
You can run FAST-OAD tutorials without installation using our Binder-hosted Jupyter notebooks.
Prerequisite:FAST-OAD needs at least Python 3.7.0.
It is recommended (but not required) to install FAST-OAD in a virtual environment (conda, venv, ...)
Once Python is installed, FAST-OAD can be installed using pip.
Note: If your network uses a proxy, you may have to do some settings for pip to work correctly
You can install the latest version with this command:
$ pip install --upgrade fast-oad
