pyGeo is an object oriented geometry manipulation framework for multidisciplinary design optimization. It provides a free form deformation (FFD) based geometry manipulation object, an interface to NASA's Vehicle Sketch Pad geometry engine, a simple geometric constraint formulation object, and some utility functions for geometry manipulation.
