set_section_angles(i, nose_z, tail_z, x_poses, z_poses, heights, widths, length, end_ind, b_id)[source]#

Set boom section angles to create a smooth (in the non-technical sense) boom shape. Note that i of 0 corresponds to the first section that is not the end point.

Assumptions: May fail to give reasonable angles for very irregularly shaped booms Does not work on the nose and tail sections.

Source: N/A

Inputs: nose_z [-] # 0.1 is 10% of the boom length widths np.array of [m] heights np.array of [m] tail_z [-] # 0.1 is 10% of the boom length

Outputs: Operates on the active OpenVSP model, no direct output

Properties Used: N/A
