UNICADO collects several modules and data which are grouped into repostories:

• :simple-gitlab: Aircraft Design :octicons-link-external-16::

  The aircraft design repository collect alls the sizing tools and analysis tools which are needed for the preliminary design process.

• :simple-gitlab: Libraries :octicons-link-external-16::

  Whenever some functionality is used in several modules, the functions are collected and made available within the project via libraries.

• :simple-gitlab: Utilities :octicons-link-external-16::

  Tools which are not directly needed for the aircraft design process, like our test framework are grouped in utilities. Some helper tools which are used to convert file types and analyse results can be found here as well.

• :simple-gitlab: Aircraft References :octicons-link-external-16::

  Here you can found different designed aircraft. The designs are made using the UNICADO workflow and are generally in a valid and converged state.

!!! note This repository will be translated to a actual database in the future!

• :simple-gitlab: Engines :octicons-link-external-16::

  This collect different engines and their operating data as lookup tables which is used by several tools to analyse and estimate the engine performance.

• :simple-gitlab: WorkflowOnRCE :octicons-link-external-16::

  Here are all the files which are relevant for executing the UNICADO workflow with RCE.

• :simple-gitlab: UNICADO Package:octicons-link-external-16::

  This repository is a container which collects all UNICADO repositories as submodules. It is used to create the UNICADO releases and is a good starting point to get developing.
