HENSYNTH Analysis: Mission, Performance, Trades and Optimize

Why these pages sit after Requirements

HENSYNTH’s core loop is Geometry → Requirements → Run → Synthesize. The Analysis sidebar then opens Mission, Performance, Trades, Optimize and Reports on the same project. Those pages read the latest stored analysis or call dedicated screening endpoints. They do not invent coefficients and they do not claim wind-tunnel or certification agreement.

Mission

Open Mission after a successful Requirements or Analyze run. You see stored mission metrics from that result. When the electro-thermal pack model ran, the battery panel shows ISA, cold and hot day scenarios with voltage, temperature and SOC limits. Use Run on this page for mission-opt: a cruise speed and altitude grid aimed at minimum energy, endurance, time or remaining SOC. Treat every limit hit as a screening flag, not a certified failure mode.

Performance

Performance shows predictions from the latest analysis — range, endurance and related tiles in the metric grid. If a section-Cd bridge was stored, the page explains build-up CD versus an elected section RANS Cd near cruise CL as a first-order Breguet screen, not an aircraft polar. Polar-path notes explain what source was active or blocked. Run Requirements first so predictions exist.

Trades

Pick one variable: wing span, CD₀, empty weight, prop efficiency, battery energy or CL max. Run a one-at-a-time sweep through the trade-study endpoint, then optionally run local sensitivity for finite-difference elasticity of key metrics. Large sweeps may queue as a background job. Trades are conceptual what-if screens for early planform and energy decisions.

Optimize

Optimize runs a random-search range maximizer on the current project. Large candidate counts may enqueue a job. The result is a screening search toward longer range under the engine’s models — not a certified global optimum and not a substitute for your own Multidisciplinary Design Optimization process.

Reports next

When you need the analyze PDF or a list of stored runs, open Reports. Requirements and Synthesize still own the zip packages for the requirements run and each candidate card. Student USD 9, Professional USD 29 and Team USD 89 remain unchanged and cover HENSYNTH with HENFOIL on one HENDOI account.

In simple words: what this page is for

After Requirements and Synthesize, open HENSYNTH Mission, Performance, Trades and Optimize for stored predictions, mission-opt grids, sweeps and conceptual range search.

This lesson exists because aircraft teams often jump to heavy CFD before the mission is even closed. HENSYNTH Analysis: Mission, Performance, Trades and Optimize keeps the focus on conceptual screening you can explain in review.

Why the topic matters

Engineers lose time when a title sounds clear but the page only sketches the idea. This article expands HENSYNTH Analysis: Mission, Performance, Trades and Optimize so you can answer three questions without jargon: what is the idea, when do you use it, and how do you check it in a HENDOI product.

Read the sections above for the core definitions. Use the steps below to move from reading into a real project trail you can share with a teammate.

How to apply this in HENDOI

In practice: open HENSYNTH after you sign in, set or confirm geometry, write mission targets on Requirements, Run screening, then read PASS / FAIL with margins. Use Mission, Performance, Trades, Optimize and Reports only after the screening snapshot exists. Numbers come from stored runs — the product does not invent missing values.

If you still need the wing section itself, finish that work in HENFOIL first, then continue the aircraft in HENSYNTH. One HENDOI account covers both. Plans stay Student USD 9, Professional USD 29 and Team USD 89.

What this page will not claim: HENSYNTH is conceptual and preliminary screening. It is not wind-tunnel data, not certification CFD, and not a compliance certificate for an authority. PASS / FAIL means requirement-versus-prediction inside the product.
