A substantial effort has been made to implement an enhanced aerodynamic modeling capability in the Higher-fidelity Conceptual Design and structural optimization tool. This additional capability is needed for a rapid, physics-based method of modeling advanced aircraft concepts at risk of structural failure due to dynamic aeroelastic instabilities. To adequately predict these instabilities, in particular for transonic applications, a generalized aerodynamic matching algorithm was implemented to correct the doublet-lattice model available in Nastran using solution data from a priori computational fluid dynamics anal- ysis. This new capability is demonstrated for two tube-and-wing aircraft configurations, including a Boeing 737-200 for implementation validation and the NASA D8 as a first use case. Results validate the current implementation of the aerodynamic matching utility and demonstrate the importance of using such a method for aircraft configurations featuring fuselage-wing aerodynamic interaction.
