Example 11, Slide 17: Smoothing strategy, optimized smoothed cross section, extended panel

Fig. 31 from the 2014 GENOPT paper.
Optimization of the “smoothed” version of the specific case called “fold98updown”: Top frame: the starting design, which is the optimized design obtained before the introduction of “smoothing” cylindrical segments; Middle frame: the optimized design with “smoothing” segments with RSMOOTH = 1.0 inch; Bottom frame: the “smoothed” panel cross-section profile extended to a wide panel (fold98updown.BEHX0).
