0. General overview

This type contains the options and parameters for the generation of the VSAero surface meshes. It is split up into one part for the wings (including all lifting surfaces like horizontal and vertical tailplanes) and one part for the fuselages.

1. <wingPanelings> (optional)

The parameters for generating the wing meshes. This node either contains one subnode with parameters for each of the lifting surfaces, or just one single subnode, if common parameters for all the lifting surfaces shall be used.

2. <fuselagePanelings> (optional)

This node currently is just a placeholder for the time, when the VSAero interface will be able to generate fuselage meshes as well.
