This paper describes a new generic parametric modeller integrated into an auto-
mated optimization loop for shape optimization. The modeller enables the generation of shapes by
selecting a set of design parameters that controls a twofold parameterization: geometrical
- based on a skeleton approach - and architectural - based on the experience of practitioners - to
impact the system performance. The resulting forms are relevant and effective, thanks to a
smoothing procedure that ensures the consistency of the shapes produced.
As an application, we propose to perform a multi-objective shape optimization of a AC45 foil. The
modeller is linked to the fluid solver AVANTI, coupled with Xfoil, and to the optimization
toolbox FAMOSA.
