since this release
This version contains a complete new set of tools to model and analyze propellers.
- A new Surface derived class can generate the propeller mesh from parametric data (diameter, twist, chord, pitch, etc.) .
- The propeller model is converted automatically into a proper calculation model (set of lattices, wakes, etc.).
- The console includes a batch command to run a complete propeller analysis (Ct, Cp and Eta as functions of J).
- The rotation of the flow has been reviewed (it was not suitable for large rotations). This affects the free flight module in some degree.
Be aware that this new feature may contain bugs.
