NEXT, FUNCTIONALITY WILL BE DEVELOPED TO SUPPORT AUTOMATED WORKFLOWS WITHIN THE OPENMDAO FRAMEWORK UTILIZING PYTHON 3. A SUITE OF ROTORCRAFT FEATURES WILL BE DEVELOPED TO SUPPORT THE ANALYSIS OF A VARIETY OF CONFIGURATIONS. LASTLY, THE MAIN EFFORT WILL EXERCISE SIX UNIQUE DEMONSTRATION APPLICATIONS SHOWCASING DIFFERENT CAPABILITIES DEVELOPED DURING THE PHASE III. IF THE OPTION TASKS ARE AWARDED, ADDITIONAL DEMONSTRATION CASES WILL BE EXAMINED AND DOCUMENTED. ALSO, SUPPORT FOR MACOS AND UBUNTU PLATFORMS WILL BE DEVELOPED.
