Open VOGEL/Kernel/Aeroelastic

Introduction

In this section we are going to present the aeroelastic calculation module in its classical mathematical perspective. For a wider introduction to the subject, visit the tutorial pages.

Open VOGEL models wings using beam elements. In principle, these could be made of any type: constant sections or variable sections with two or more nodes. The current version only works with two-nodes constant section elements (the so called ConstantBeamElement), but it leaves the IFiniteElement interface and the BeamElement abstraction open to declare and introduce different elements.
