0. General overview

This type contains data for the aerodynamic performance map computations. In Framework integration mode no further input is required here. But it is possible to specify a quasiSteadyRotation node to switch on the computation of damping derivatives. A list of control surface UIDs further switches on the computation of delta-performance maps for each of these control surfaces. In Toolwrapper input mode, the parameter vectors for the performance map computations have to be specified here.

1. <positiveQuasiSteadyRotation> (optional in Framework integration mode)

A set of normalized rotation values used for calculating the damping derivatives (positive rates). A separate computation for each of the three rotational values is performed and used (together with the reference compuation without any rotation) to derive the damping derivatives. This node itself switches on the computation of negative damping derivatives. IIf there are no subnodes, the positive defaults are used.

2. <negativeQuasiSteadyRotation> (optional in Framework integration mode)

A set of normalized rotation values used for calculating the damping derivatives (negative rates). A separate computation for each of the three rotational values is performed and used (together with the reference compuation without any rotation) to derive the damping derivatives. This node itself switches on the computation of negative damping derivatives. IIf there are no subnodes, the negative defaults are used.

3. <controlSurfaceUID> (optional in Framework integration mode)

A list of control surface UIDs, referring to each of the control surfaces for which a delta performance map shall be computed.

4. <machNumber> (mandatory in Toolwrapper input mode)

A vector of semicolon-separated values, specifying all the Mach numbers being used to create the aerodynamic performance map (Mach number dimension)

5. <reynoldsNumber> (mandatory in Toolwrapper input mode)

A vector of semicolon-separated values, specifying all the Reynolds numbers being used to create the aerodynamic performance map (Reynolds number dimension)

6. <angleOfYaw> (mandatory in Toolwrapper input mode)

A vector of semicolon-separated values, specifying all the angles of yaw being used to create the aerodynamic performance map (Angle of yaw dimension)

7. <angleOfAttack> (mandatory in Toolwrapper input mode)

A vector of semicolon-separated values, specifying all the angles of attack being used to create the aerodynamic performance map (Angle of attack dimension)

8. <positiveQuasiSteadyRotation> (optional in Toolwrapper input mode)

A set of normalized rotation values used for calculating the damping derivatives (positive rates). A separate computation for each of the three rotational values is performed and used (together with the reference compuation without any rotation) to derive the damping derivatives. This node itself switches on the computation of positive damping derivatives. IIf there are no subnodes, the positive defaults are used. This node is similar to the one from Framework integration mode.

9. <negativeQuasiSteadyRotation> (optional in Toolwrapper input mode)

A set of normalized rotation values used for calculating the damping derivatives (negative rates). A separate computation for each of the three rotational values is performed and used (together with the reference compuation without any rotation) to derive the damping derivatives. This node itself switches on the computation of negative damping derivatives. IIf there are no subnodes, the negative defaults are used. This node is similar to the one from Framework integration mode.

10. <controlSurfaces> (optional in Toolwrapper input mode)

A list of control surfaces and their deflection vectors being used to create the delta aerodynamic performance maps for each control surface (Deflection dimension)
