HyperStruct is a modern implementation of the SWEEP software originally produced by Rockwell International in 1974. The Structural Weight Estimation Program for Aircraft (SWEEP) was originally implemented in FORTRAN. The source code for this program is no longer publicly available, but the US Defence Technical Information Center has published all the original documentation from Rockwell (which is extensive).
This project aims to meet the same objectives as SWEEP: devlop analytical computer programs capable of predicting the weight of aircraft structural components suitable for use during the conceptual phase of the aircraft design cycle. It builds a very high level of fidelity in the weight estimates, with flexiblity to a plethora of design variables. All of this is predominantly derived from fundamental structural methods, or historically predicated empirical formulas.
