Draft: wing_design (schueltke): restructured wing design module

Florian Schültkerequested to merge
feature/185-update-wing_design-module-to-handle-tube_and_wing-and-blended_wing_body-configuration into main

Description

According to task #185 (closed), the wing_design module was adapted/exchanged to handle both, C++- and Python-Code. This was done by taking the Python framework and adapting the wing_design_conf.xml structure to it. This required changing the registration process of the tube_and_wing strategy in C++ code. The C++ code is then compiled via CMakeLists.txt of wing_design as wing_design_taw next to wing_design.py. This executable is then called in the tube_and_wing strategy of the new wing design. For BWB, currently, the MATLAB code from aircraft-references#9 is taken and downloaded via the CMakeLists.txt next to the wing_design.py as wing_design_bwb and called in the blended_wing_body strategy. Currently, a wrong path is used in wing_design_bwb for fidelity. This is mentioned in issue #189 (closed).

Other Changes

  • Changed folder structure of wing_design

The tube_and_wing folder holds next to the fidelity level also the C++ wing design module wing_design_taw because this module could also contain other fidelity strategies: image

Testing Instructions

  1. Download this branch and build wing_design
  2. Copy it into the workflow after installation of new workflow created with MR rce-workflow!xxx
  3. Execute the workflow for tube_and_wing (standard case) and blended_wing_body

The standard case should change nothing and BWB should end with an error, because changes in fuselage_design(#188 (closed)) and wing_design_bwb(#189 (closed)) are required.

Developer Checklist

  • Code has been tested locally and/or in pipeline.
  • (if applicable) documentation updated.
  • Merge conflicts resolved with the target branch.

Additional Notes

This new module needs to be integrated into the RCE Workflow, which will be done with task rce-workflow#26
