TiGL 2.1.5

on GitHub

TiGL 2.1.5 was released on 01/07/2015

• Changed API:
  • Added an output argument in the function tiglWingComponentSegmentPointGetSegmentEtaXsi that returns the error of the computation.
  • The function tiglWingComponentSegmentGetSegmentIntersection uses a new algorithm that should ensure straight
    flap leading edges and straight spars. Also, a new parameter hasWarning was added, to inform the user, that the
    returned segment xsi value is not in the valid range [0,1]. This might be the case, if a spar is partially located outside the wing.
  • Removed macros TIGL_VERSION and TIGL_VERSION_MAJOR from tigl.h. Please use tigl_version.h instead.
• General changes:
  • External geometries can be included into the CPACS file using a link to a STEP file. The allows e.g. the use
    of engines and nacelles. (Note: this is not yet included in the CPACS standard)
  • Improved computation of half model fuselage profiles. Now, fuselages are c2 continuous at the symmetry plane.
  • Improved computation speed of tiglWingComponentSegmentGetPoint by a factor of 30 to 600 (depending on the geometry).
  • Reduced execution time of tiglOpenCPACSConfiguration.
  • All TiXI messages (errors/warnings) are now printed to the TiGL log.
  • Ported to OpenCASCADE 6.8.0.
• New API functions:
  • tiglExportFusedBREP to export the fused configuration to the BRep file format.
• Fixes:
  • Fixed bug, where guide curves on half model fuselages were not touching the symmetry plane.
  • Fixed a TIGL_MATH_ERROR bug in tiglWingComponentSegmentGetSegmentIntersection.
• TiGL Viewer:
  • Ported to Qt 5.
  • OpenGL accelerated rubber band selection. This fixes the slow rubber band selection on Linux and
    the invisible rubber band selection on Mac.
  • Fixed bug when loading a CPACS file with multiple models (thanks Jonas!).
  • Removed support for legacy VRML and CSDFB files.
