Remarks

0. General overview

This type contains the whole set of operational parameters, required to compute a single loadcase with HandbookAero.

1. <name> (mandatory)

This is the name of the loadcase.

2. <description> (optional)

This is the the description of the loadcase.

3. <loadCaseUID> (mandatory)

This is a reference to the original loadcase definition within the selected aircraft model. It is used to locate the place, where the tool results have to be stored.

4. <flow> (mandatory)

This node contains the definition of the flow conditions for the aerodynamic computations.

5. <totalCoefficients> (optional)

If HandbookAero is used to extend / modify existing loadcase data, this node has to contain the total coefficients for the specific loadcase.

6. <wings> (optional)

If HandbookAero is used to extend / modify existing loadcase data, this node has to contain the aerodynamic coefficients for all the wings.
