Geometry Parameterization Tutorials
Geometry Parameterization Tutorial #1
MASSOUD
MASSOUD is a NASA Langley product developed by Jamshid Samareh . All requests should be sent directly to him. MASSOUD is used to parameterize existing surface meshes and to provide a compact set of design variables describing changes in the mesh. This tool is often used in combination with FUN3D for design optimization.

Bandaids
Bandaids is a NASA Langley product developed by Jamshid Samareh . All requests should be sent directly to him. Bandaids is used to parameterize existing surface meshes and to provide a compact set of design variables describing changes in the mesh. This tool is often used in combination with FUN3D for design optimization.
