pyGeo is an object oriented geometry manipulation framework for multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO). It can be used for MDO within the MACH framework and within OpenMDAO through Mphys. Its parameterization options include a free form deformation (FFD) implementation, an interface to NASA's OpenVSP parametric geometry tool, and an interface to the CAD package ESP. It also includes geometric constraints and utility functions for geometry manipulation.
Please see the documentation for installation details and API documentation.
