◆ ClearVSPModel()

void ClearVSPModel ( )

Clear the current OpenVSP model

string fid = AddGeom( "FUSELAGE", "" );             // Add Fuselage
 
//==== Reset Geometry ====//
Print( string( "--->Resetting VSP model to blank slate\n" ) );
ClearVSPModel();

◆ GetVSPFileName()

string GetVSPFileName ( )

Get the file name of the current OpenVSP project

◆ Update()

void Update ( bool update_managers = true )

Update the entire vehicle and all lower level children. An input, which is true by default, is available to specify if managers should be updated as well. The managers are typically updated by their respective GUI, so must be updated through the API as well to avoid unexpected behavior.

string fid = AddGeom( "FUSELAGE", "" );             // Add Fuselage
 
string xsec_surf = GetXSecSurf( fid, 0 );           // Get First (and Only) XSec Surf
 
//==== Set Tan Angles At Nose/Tail
SetXSecTanAngles( GetXSec( xsec_surf, 0 ), XSEC_BOTH_SIDES, 90 );
SetXSecTanAngles( GetXSec( xsec_surf, num_xsecs - 1 ), XSEC_BOTH_SIDES, -90 );
 
Update();       // Force Surface Update

Parameters

update_managers Flag to indicate if managers should be updated

◆ VSPExit()

void VSPExit ( int error_code )

Exit the program with a specific error code
