SW
Matrix (number of wings x number of partitions)
showing sweep of each partition.
symmetric
Vector (number of wings) showing symmetric state
(1 or 0) of each wing.
T
Matrix (number of wings x number of partitions)
showing taper of each partition.
TW
Matrix (number of wings x number of partitions x 2)
showing inner and outer twist of each partitions,
inner first.
void
Scalar, status variable.
XYZ
Matrix (number of panels x 5 x 3) showing xyz
coordinates for every corner of each panel.
Input variables
All of these are variables in Toprnados main function. Some are
needed to create a geometry and these are saved in the geometry
input files in the "aircraft" directory. They are:
b
c
Matrix (number of wings x number of partitions)
showing span of each partitions. Figure 24 shows the
layout of the b matrix, which is representative for all
geometry matrices.
