[0002] Rapid modeling and simulation of morphing wing structures refers to a method specifically designed for wing structures capable of altering their shape (e.g., by changing airfoil, twist angle, spanwise shape). This method enables the rapid completion of geometric modeling, physical model establishment, and subsequent performance (primarily aerodynamic and structural mechanical properties) simulation. Rapid modeling and simulation of morphing wing structures can efficiently evaluate the impact of different deformation strategies on various aspects of an aircraft's performance, including aerodynamic efficiency, structural efficiency, handling, and stability, helping to design aircraft that truly leverage the advantages of deformation to achieve performance leaps.
