Changelog¶

Version 1.2.0¶

Made use of the @functools.lru_cache function in order to save time on function that read csv files see #188
Reworked some of the solvers to save some time and deleted some that were not useful see #195
Added yml as a viable input for the block analysis
Development of high wing models by pulling the work of @fomra during his summer 2022 internship
Implementation of twist and dihedral in logitudinal aerodynamics see #202
Changed the function of the Cl=f(curve) to match a new reference wing Cl see #202

Modified the Xfoil interface to allow for single AoA launch see #182
Modification of the usage of the FlightPoint dataclass so that it is possible to add new fields more easily see #187
Added a module for the computation of more aerodynamic derivatives see #185

Added compressibility corrections and reynolds correction in the BEMT code
Change in the propeller code organization
Added a new representation of the propeller performance under the form of Ct and Cp graphs
Centralized all post_processing function in a post-processing API
Added an option for the path to airfoil files

Added an analytical model for wing mass estimation
Most models are now registered using the submodel feature from FAST-OAD-core
Added an analytical model for fuselage mass estimation
Dependencies were updated to reflected the separation between core and models in FAST-OAD
Generalized the usage of shape_by_conn option when possible
Added propeller installation effects
Added link to Binder-hosted notebooks
Sped up the computation of propeller performances, of aircraft performances and of IC engine fuel consumption
Added a model for turboprop fuel consumption computation
Added a new mission modules solves all the FlightPoints at once instead of using a time step approach
Added Daher TBM900 as a reference aircraft

Changed the variables that define nacelle position, they are now arrays
When reading the .csv polar Mach number within a given precision are now read
Variable descriptions were added
Minor model error corrections
Like the generate_xml_file was added which creates a default input file that matches what is need in generate_configuration_file
Added polar computation
Added payload-range diagram computation
Use of the mission builder feature in FAST-OAD-GA is now possible
Changed the name of some variables to make the use of the mission builder possible namely: data:geometry:propulsion:count, data:geometry:propulsion:layout, data:geometry:propulsion:y_ratio

Unitary tests based on converged OAD aircraft .XML
OAD process (integration test and API) switched to VLM method to work on linux/mac os
Minor changes in Notebooks
