postprocess_VD(VD, settings)[source]#

Recomputes data about the VD. Should be called any time VD panel values (e.g. VD.XA1, VD.XCH, etc) are changed.

Assumptions:
  • the last VLM_wing in VD.VLM_wings is last to get discretized and thus has the highest surface_ID

Source:

Inputs: VD - vehicle vortex distribution [Unitless] settings - Vortex_Lattice.settings [Unitless]

Outputs: VD - vehicle vortex distribution [Unitless]

Properties Used: N/A
