JPAD Modeller by SmartUp Engineering

Accelerate modeling and automate your workflows

JPAD Modeller is an innovative software for aircraft design that accelerates conceptual and preliminary design phases by generating a full aircraft in seconds from TLARs and a few assumptions. It improves processes by automating high-fidelity, parametric CAD model creation and enabling export to tools like Altair® FlightStream™.

The tool simplifies workflows enabling automatic generation of key aircraft components, including lifting surface tips, winglets, fairings, pylons, propeller disks, nacelles, moveables, and control surfaces.
