Design Tools

AVID LLC provides engineering analysis and methodology development for conventional, historical, and advanced aircraft concepts. Our state of the art aircraft conceptual design systems include validated multi-disciplinary design tools that are centered on parametric three-dimensional geometric modeling and optimization. AVID LLC continues to develop dependable aircraft design software employed on conventional commercial and military aircraft, numerous V/STOL aircraft, research vehicles, missiles, and UAVs.

AVID OAV is a bottom up design tool that enables the user to build the vehicle and optimize the design from a limited set of data. It is fully geometry driven and incorporates advanced methods for performing critical evaluations of all aircraft design disciplines. For instance, OAV is used in the design of the unstable ducted fan concept because we compute the mass properties and the aerodynamic stability derivatives inside the design loop...

AVID ACS is a widely-used interdisciplinary aircraft synthesis program for application in the early design stages of an aircraft, and can be used in conceptual design studies of numerous vehicles, from small UAVs flying on other planets to supersonic STOVL fighters...

AVID PAGE (Parametric Aircraft Geometry Engine) Modeler is a rapid parametric modeler that allows the user to think in terms of aircraft parameters, and quickly develop advanced concepts. Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) are supported for creating curvature continuous geometry...

AVID SPOT (Software Pixels on Target) assists system designers in selecting the ideal combination of vehicle and sensor package for a given application. SPOT combines a UAV flight simulator with the ability to control sensor parameters such as field of view, frames per second, and sensor orientation...
