Default Aero Help Needed!!! simulation and coefficients

1. Does anyone know of any program/software that will simulate an aircraft flying with 3 degrees of freedom (pitch, U velocity, V velocity) given information about the aircraft (either geometry or coefficients plus velocities and altitudes)

2. Does anyone know of a program/software, or even equations to estimate/calculate aircraft coefficients given aircraft geometry? (such as CL_o, CL_a, CL_delta_e, CL_alpha_dot, CL_q, CD_o, CD_a, CD_delta_e, CM_o, CM_a, CM_delta_e, CM_alpha_dot, CM_q, and Iyy)

Thanks for everything in advance.

Mike
