Keywords: mesh generation, automated analysis, cfd

This paper deals with an automated approach on how to go from geometry data to CFD based aerodynamic derivatives. This involves automation of geometry generation, an script-based approach on how to automate the mesh generation and setup of the solver and communication with the computing-cluster and finally post-processing of data.
