DLR-SC/tigl 2.0

on GitHub

Released: 20/03/2012

• General Changes:

  • Compatible with CPACS 2.0
  • Corrected the implicit rotation of fuselage and wing profiles. They shouldn't turn from x-y to x-z by TIGL
  • TIGL now uses the coordinate system of parent components for child components. This is only done when parent --> child relations could be figured out via UIDs.
  • Profile points could now also be stored as the vector (x ,y, and z) containing all profile points.
  • Some XPath have changed in CPACS 2.0, for example "sweepangle" is now "sweepAngle". TIGL is taking care of these changes.

• New API Functions:

  • tiglFuselageGetSymmetry and tiglWingGetSymmetry for querying symmetry information
  • tiglWingGetReferenceArea gives the reference area of a wing
  • tiglWingComponentSegmentFindSegment returns the segmentUID and wingUID for a given point on a componentSegment
  • tiglWingGetWettedArea a new function for caluclating wetted area of a wing
    tiglWingComponentSegmentPointGetSegmentEtaXsireturns eta, xsi, segmentUID and wingUID for a given eta and xsi on
    • a componentSegment

• TiGLViewer:

  • Complete rebuild of TIGLViewer. It is now QT based and platform independent
  • TIGLViewer now updates the view when the cpacs file is changed.
