v1.1.2

VortexStepMethod v1.1.2

Diff since v1.1.1

Added

• The function install_examples() which allows to easily install the examples without using git
• The function solve! returns a struct now. The function solvethat returns a dict is still available.
• The moment coefficients distribution in solve!
• The script install to the bin folder for users who checked out this git repository
• The script bench2.jl was added for allocation testing of the solve! function

Changed

• Read the y-coordinates in the correct direction from the ram_air_kite_body.obj file
• In the menu.jl, changed help to help_me. It works better now, no more warnings on Linux, it should also work on MacOS now
• The coordinate frames of the panels now use the same convention as the kite body frame
• The page "Glossary" of the documentation is quite complete now
• The center of mass field of the RamAirWing is removed, and the geometry is created such that [0, 0, 0] is the center of mass
• The enumeration WingType was added and replaces the symbols, used before
• The allocations of the function solve! where reduced by a factor of 11 to 85 allocations
• align_to_principal option added to RamAirWing
• deform! by a distribution instead of just a left and right angle

Fixed

• The function calculate_circulation_distribution_elliptical_wing() was never called
• Fix the calculation of force coefficients in solve!
• The continues integration scripts (CI.yml) use now separate runs for the test coverage and for the allocation tests.
