0. General overview

Parameters and options for running the VSAero tool.

1. <usePOLINT> (mandatoy)

With this switch, the optional usage of the polar interpolation tool POLINT (running right after LIFTING_LINE) can be switched on or off. If POLINT is used, the LIFTING_LINE interface needs the required airfoil polars to be provided in addition to the initial CPACS dataset.

2. <archiveMode> (mandatoy)

This parameter specifies the amount of additional data, stored as result besides the resulting CPACS dataset. There are three options available:

  • 0: Only the logfile is stored
  • 1: Logfile and all the LIFTING_LINE inputfiles are stored
  • 2: Logfile, all LIFTING_LINE inputfiles and the complete output from each LIFTING_LINE run is stored. WARNING: Selecting this mode incombination with performance map calculations can rapidly produce Gigabytes of data !!!

3. <wingPanelings> (mandatoy)

This node contains parameters and options for the wing paneling.
