Accessible via `asb.Airplane.export_OpenVSP_vspscript(filename="/path/to/my/file.vspscript")`. To import into OpenVSP, use this function to generate a VSPscript file, and then import it via File -> Run Script... in OpenVSP. +- Added ability to extract boundary layer data from XFoil via the `asb.XFoil` interface. See `asb.XFoil.alpha(alpha, include_bl_data=True)` for details. This is useful for boundary layer analysis, especially for high-lift devices. +- Added geometry export capabilities to OpenVSP using the *.vspscript interface.

To import into OpenVSP, use this function to generate a VSPscript file, and then import it via File -> Run Script... in OpenVSP. - Overhaul of the airfoil database at `aerosandbox.geometry.airfoil.airfoil_database`. This includes the addition of around 500 new high-quality airfoils, the removal of around 15 exceptionally-low-quality airfoils from the UIUC database, the correction of some airfoil coordinates for transcription errors, and fixes for file encodings that caused errors on Linux. #### 4.2.0 @@ -52,7 +52,7 @@ Also, for at least one version before a breaking change, AeroSandbox development - Improved visualization of Dynamics-class instances with PyVista; now, an altitude drape, ground plane, and wingtip ribbon can be drawn. - Fixed a bug in `asb.AeroBuildup` where wave drag could continue to be added via airfoil aerodynamics even if the user specified `include_wave_drag=False`. - Added a `period` argument to `asb.numpy.diff()` which allows for `diff`ing periodic variables (e.g., heading angle) without wraparound error. -- Added `asb.numpy.integrate_discrete` module, which has higher-order integrators for pre-sampled functions (e.g., useful when doing direct collocation trajectory optimization). +- Added `asb.numpy.integrate_discrete` module, which has higher-order integrators for pre-sampled functions (e.g., useful when doing direct collocation trajectory optimization). - Added `asb.numpy.integrate` module, which copies `scipy.integrate` and provides `quad` (quadrature) and `solve_ivp` (ODE solve) functions. - Added `asb.numpy.gradient()` as a new function. - Fixed a bug in the `asb.numpy.mod()` function, which previous had slight discrepancies against NumPy's implementation for negative inputs. @@ -64,7 +64,8 @@ Also, for at least one version before a breaking change, AeroSandbox development ----- #### 4.1.7 -- Minimal changes; mostly more documentation and backend upgrades (e.g., new PyPI upload process). + +- Minimal changes; mostly more documentation and backend upgrades (e.g., new PyPI upload process). - Minor refactoring of `np.reshape` methods from array methods to functions, for clarity. - Exploring reasons why NumPy 1.25.0 seems to have different optimization behavior than versions preceding.

This clarifies that the output is an XFLR5 XML file (which needs to be imported through the Plane menu in XFLR5), not an XFLR5 .xfl file - a point of user confusion. For now, both will work, but the old name will trigger a warning, and eventually will be removed. +- PENDING DEPRECATION added: `asb.Airplane.export_XFLR()` has been renamed to `asb.Airplane.export_XFLR5_xml()`.
