FAST-OAD is a framework for performing rapid Overall Aircraft Design.
It proposes multi-disciplinary analysis and optimisation by relying on the OpenMDAO framework.
FAST-OAD allows easy switching between models for a same discipline, and also adding/removing/developing models to match the need of your study.
More details can be found in the official documentation.
Important notice:
Since version 1.3.0, FAST-OAD models for commercial transport aircraft have moved in package
FAST-OAD-CS25. This package is installed along with FAST-OAD, to keep backward compatibility. Keep in mind that any update of these models will now come through new releases of FAST-OAD-CS25 To get FAST-OAD without these models, you may install FAST-OAD-core.
You can run FAST-OAD tutorials without installation using our Binder-hosted Jupyter notebooks.
Prerequisite:FAST-OAD needs at least Python 3.7.0.
It is recommended (but not required) to install FAST-OAD in a virtual environment (conda, venv, ...)
Once Python is installed, FAST-OAD can be installed using pip.
Note: If your network uses a proxy, you may have to do some settings for pip to work correctly
You can install the latest version with this command:
$ pip install --upgrade fast-oad
or, if you want the minimum installation without the CS25-related models:
$ pip install --upgrade fast-oad-core
