Hi everyone,

in older versions of OpenVSP, the .lod files included aerodynamic coefficients (CL, CD, CMy, etc.) separated by component (wing, fuselage, htail, vtail). Since version 3.45, however, these .lod files no longer seem to contain that breakdown.

Does anyone know how I can access these component-wise coefficients in the newer versions?

Thanks in advance

I believe you are referring to the "WingId" values in 3.44? From what I saw, in 3.45 the surfaces are grouped in the "VortexSheet" variable.

Thanks Mikel, I guess you are right. However, I only have VortexSheet 1 to 6 although my model should contain 7 vortex sheets (two geometries for the fuselage plus five lifting surfaces).
