RCAIDE Package Setup

Modules

VLM(conditions, settings, geometry)	Uses the vortex lattice method to compute the lift, induced drag and moment coefficients.
build_VLM_surrogates(aerodynamics, vehicle)	Build surrogate models for aerodynamic coefficients using VLM analysis results.
compute_RHS_matrix(VD, delta, phi, ...)	This computes the right hand side matrix for the VLM.
compute_wing_induced_velocity(VD, mach[, ...])	This computes the induced velocities at each control point of the vehicle vortex lattice
evaluate_VLM
extract_wing_collocation_points
generate_fuseform_vortex_distribution(VD, ...)	This generates the vortex distribution points on a fuselage or nacelle component Assumptions: If nacelle has segments defined, the mean width and height of the nacelle is used Source: None
generate_vortex_distribution(conditions, ...)
generate_wing_vortex_distribution(VD, wing, ...)	This generates vortex distribution points for the given wing
postprocess_vortex_distribution(VD, settings)	Recomputes data about the VD.
train_VLM_surrogates(aerodynamics, vehicle)	Call methods to run VLM for sample point evaluation.
