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)	Build a surrogate using sample evaluation results.
compute_RHS_matrix(delta, phi, conditions, ...)	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
deflect_control_surface
evaluate_VLM
extract_wing_collocation_points(geometry, ...)	This extracts the collocation points of the vehicle vortex distribution belonging to the specified wing instance index.
generate_VD_helpers
generate_vortex_distribution(geometry, settings)	Compute the coordinates of panels, vortices , control points
make_VLM_wings(geometry, settings)	This parses through geometry.wings to create a Container of Data objects.
train_VLM_surrogates(aerodynamics)	Call methods to run VLM for sample point evaluation.
