0. General overview

Parameters and options for the HandbookAero tool.

1. <dataInsertionMode> (mandatory)

Way of insertion for results. There are three options available:

  • add: Adding computed results to existing values
  • subtract: Subtracting computed results from existing values
  • replace: Replacing existing values by computed results

2. <logLevel> (mandatory)

Detail level of handbookAero logging. There are three options available:

  • 0: Minimum logging
  • 1: Detailed logging
  • 2: Very detailed logging

3. <wingPaneling> (mandatory)

This node contains a parameter for the fineness of the wing paneling. The value is used as common value for all wings. In case of <loadCases> runmode, and if already existing spanwise distributions are provided, this provided paneling is used instead.

4. <viscousDrag> (optional)

This node contains the available methods and their parameters for calculating the viscous drag.

5. <modifyByFormula> (optional)

This node contains the parameters for creating or modifying data by specified formulas.
