Saving and retrieving aircraft data
Once you have entered the physical properties for the aircraft, they can be saved
and recovered for subsequent runs. The file in which they are saved has the root
name plus the extension .CML, and it retains a record of each stability analysis
associated with a given .IN file name. Each record is identified by the time and
date of its creation. CML files are managed in the area headed File Management at
the lower right hand corner of the stability dialog.
If the Auto save box is
checked, records are saved
automatically each time a
calculation is performed,
but you can also force a
save at any time by clicking
on the Save data button.
To re-load data entered
earlier and saved in the
CML file, click on the button
marked List stability runs, select a date and time, and click on Load Data. To
delete data for a certain run, select that run and click on Delete Data.
To load data from a CML file having a name different from the current input file,
click Import Data. Select the file name and then proceed as above.
Flight conditions
At the upper right corner of the main form, enter the true airspeed and the
density of the medium. Remember to keep units consistent; if the model is
dimensioned in inches, speed should be expressed in inches per second.
Identifying the stabilizer
Click on the button labeled Pitch in the Stability Modes area to bring up the setup
dialog for pitch stability.
