Parametric Modeling and Curve Functions

The video tutorial introduces the Friendship Framework for designing parametric models, using a wing as an example. It outlines a three-step modeling process: defining curves, creating parameter functions, and generating the parametric surface. The tutorial demonstrates how to control the wing profile using FS splines and parameters for location and area. Functions for these parameters are created, and the profile is linked with parameter distributions using the curve engine. The video concludes with adjustments to the wing design, showcasing its readiness for systematic studies and optimization.
