- write_vsp_nacelle(nacelle, OML_set_ind)[source]#
This converts nacelles into OpenVSP format.
Assumptions: 1. If nacelle segments are defined, geometry written to OpenVSP is of type “StackGeom”.
1.a This type of nacelle can be either set as flow through or not flow through. 1.b Segments are defined in a similar manner to fuselage segments. See geometric
documentation in RCAIDE-Library-Components-Nacelles-Nacelle
If nacelle segments are not defined, geometry written to OpenVSP is of type “BodyofRevolution”. 2.a This type of nacelle can be either set as flow through or not flow through. 2.b BodyofRevolution can be either be a 4 digit airfoil (type string) or super ellipse (default)
Source: N/A Inputs:
nacelle. origin [m] in all three dimension, should have as many origins as engines length [m] diameter [m] flow_through <boolean> if True create a flow through nacelle, if False create a cylinder segment(optional).
width [m] height [m] lenght [m] percent_x_location [m] percent_y_location [m] percent_z_location [m]
Outputs: Operates on the active OpenVSP model, no direct output Properties Used: N/A
