FAR 23 Load Software
FAR 23 Load Software
(OP)
I am looking for a software program that will calculate the FAR 23 loads for a new aircraft design. Any suggestions?

RE: FAR 23 Load Software
Sorry, but your question is a little vague. To the best of my knowledge, there is no "canned" software to solve all of your load scenarios.
It's not unlike asking if there is a software package to take the professional engineers exam for you...
RE: FAR 23 Load Software
I recall that the IPR to the software are now with McGettrick Structural Engineering.

Perhaps this document will explain more than I can:

Good luck.

This program has several enhancements over the original McMaster version, which includes a central data base which shares information between modules.

As a user of FAR 23 LOADS l can assure you that even in its original form it is very useful. We have used the program on several projects, from single seat Experimental type to a twin engined commuter plane (18500lbs).
I have been asking FAR23Owner to develop the code for some time now, the idea beign to intergrate the original McMaster modules into a more cohesive single-entry (per parameter) prog.
When we used the program for the Farnborough F1 air taxi (which morphed into the AIR Epic LT) we did a full validation to UK CAA standards. There were 2 or 3 residual mistakes in the program and we decided to amend the constants in other places (to best suit our plane), apart from that the program is ready to use and is accepted by FAA.
We suppliment FAR 23 LOADS now with CFD and other load data to reduce conservatism and manage risk in the Certification phase.
Highly recommended, suggest you start hassling FAR23Owner as well.
