However, due to the complex interplay between aerodynamics and structural integrity, it requires an aerostructural analysis. 3DExperience by Dassault Systèmes is a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) - based software with integrated structural and aerodynamic analysis tools. This software was employed to establish a methodology for conducting one-way aerostructural analysis of morphing trailing edge wings on a transonic transport aircraft. The methodology highlights the benefits of CAD-based modelling and the coupling between the aerodynamic and structural models. Nevertheless, the aerodynamic analysis results were affected by a node limit and the meshing options. Finally, a high-lift and an aerodynamically efficient test case were utilised to compare the impact of the trailing edge morphing to that of an unmorphed wing.
