v 1.60
This is a consolitation release with a bunch of smaller but nice enhancements and some refactorings inside the programm
Xoptfoil-JX
- More robust xfoil driver which reduces the situations, xfoil doesn't get convergence at an operating point.
- Auto-detection of curvature constraints especially when using 'Hicks-Henne' shape functions.
- Smoothing of the seed airfoil surface is now done automatically if the auto-detection of curvature signals too many 'spikes' on the surface.
- New screen output during particle swarm optimization to get more details about the success of each particle.
- Multi-threading is now always active also if
show_details = .true.
Xfoil_worker
- Added new option
-w set
which allows to modify the geometry parameters like thickness, camber and their positions of maximum - Added new option
-w check
to check the surface (curvature) quality of an airfoil and tell about best optimization options for the curvature. - Added new option
-w blend
to blend an airfoil with another airfoil by xx%.
