RCAIDE.Framework.External_Interfaces.OpenVSP.vsp_wing.read_vsp_wing

read_vsp_wing(wing_id, main_wing_tag=None, units_type='SI', write_airfoil_file=True, use_scaling=True)

This reads an OpenVSP wing vehicle geometry and writes it into a RCAIDE wing format.

Assumptions: 1. OpenVSP wing is divided into segments (“XSecs” in VSP). 2. Written for OpenVSP 3.21.1

Source: N/A

Inputs: 1. VSP 10-digit geom ID for wing. 2. units_type set to ‘SI’ (default) or ‘Imperial’. 3. Boolean for whether or not to write an airfoil file(default = True). 4. Boolean for whether or not to use the scaling from OpenVSP (default = True).

Outputs: Writes RCAIDE wing object, with these geometries, from VSP:
