Hello,

Is there a way to export all the numerical data for an aircraft design from OpenVSP, along with labels identifying each measurement or parameter, without having to write everything down manually?

If so, could you please explain how to do this and which file format or export option I should use?

Thanks in advance for your time and assistance.

Best regards,

There is not.

If I needed something like this, I would write a script using the API (either Python or AngelScript) to traverse the Parms and print out the ones I wanted in a format that I wanted.

All of the Parms are stored in the *.vsp3 file -- which is a text XML file.  However, I do not recommend you parse that file.  It is a mess and is ungainly to deal with.  Much better to use the API.

Hi, 
i use this code to produce this .json file for my work. Just replace your path in VSP3 file and OUT file (first two lines) and second last line to get the name you want.
Hope this helps
