MY EXPERIENCE By Amy Chang
MY TASK To understand the basic functions of OpenVSP Two build two air vehicles: Cessna 210 and Atlantis OV-104 To have a better understanding of the different fields in engineering
WHAT IS OPENVSP? Computer program that enables the modeling of 3D air vehicles VSP stands for Vehicle Sketch Pad
WHAT I LEARNED FROM OPENVSP Many 3D modeling programs are similar. There are often premade shapes available for reshaping The different parts that make up an airplane and how they can be modeled It is often hard to get the exact values for creating an accurate model Using a blueprint can make the basic creating process easier Blurry and slanted blueprints make the creation process a lot more difficult
LABS THAT I VISITED Mechatronics lab Biomechanical lab Subsonic and supersonic wind tunnels Autonomous systems lab Intelligent structures and systems research lab Anechoic chamber Test cell
