Hello all,

I am wondering if anyone has had success uploading a geometry .json file from the MU4 interface to the build files in MUX. I am having trouble following the "traditional_airplane" example build file to meet my needs. I have uploaded the geometry I wish to have from MU4, and what MUX interprets it as.

Thanks!

Could you attach your respective input files? It looks like one of your problems lies in the "connect_to" key for each wing segment. That's one thing that got changed between MU4 and MUX. The documentation (https://machupx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) explains exactly the syntax for the input files to MUX.

Cory,

Thanks for the quick response. That could definitely be my issue. I tried to match the syntax of the "traditional_example" file but I don't believe there was connecting wing segments, so that would definitely explain my oversight. I've uploaded the .json build file.

Thanks!

You need to change the key from "connect" to "connect_to". The main wing in traditional_airplane.json does not have this key because it lies at the origin, but the horizontal and vertical stabilizers do.
