NLR is developing a numerical aeroelastic simulation environment for applications to civil and fighter-type aircraft, of which a pilot version is in cooperation. In addition to extensive validation of the code, special attention has been given to the design of user-friendly pre- and postprocessing. The present paper addresses the motivation of an aeroelastic simulation environment, the status of the NLR AEroelastic SIMulation system, the current research activities, the pre- en postprocessing and future research activities. Several applications will be shown, demonstrating the use to both civil and fighter-type aircraft.
