Abstract
In the present paper we give account of an effort that aimed at the unification of the whole geometric preprocessing that preceded the wind tunnel readings with a realistic airplane wing model in a recent research project. This preprocessing includes the automated generation of the CAD models which were used for the manufacturing of the multi-parted wing-fuselage configuration and the generation of the numerical grids for the corresponding numerical simulations. Due to the constraints of the project it was decided to employ only exact, watertight, untrimmed B-Spline representations.
