OpenVSP Batch Mode V3.7.2

[ey1...@my.bristol.ac.uk]

Hi,

I am new to OpenVSP. Currently I have created a wing and through VSPAERO have manually varied the Angle of Attack every run in order to get values of Cl, Cd...etc and create graphs of these quantities versus incidence angle. I was wondering whether there was a way to vary/interpolate the Angle of Attack of the wing in VSPAERO for a range of incidences and have the outputs of Cl, Cd etc all found in one document? From your tutorial video I was told that this can be achieved through 'vspscript' as it can run many operations at once (batch mode). However I do not really know how to actually perform this and have searched previous workshop presentations, video guides, web with no success.

I would very much appreciate it if you could help explain to me how I would use vspscript to automate the interpolation of the angle of attacks of a wing for ease of results output and generation of graphs. Since I am new to OpenVSP,  if you could direct me step by step would be great!

Thanks

Edward

Running VSPAERO in batch mode through OpenVSP will have to wait for the next release (soon).  If you can't wait, you can run VSPAERO from the command line and handle the rest yourself.

Hi Rob,

Thank you for the reply. By command line do you mean manually changing the parameters in the VSPAERO GUI every time I run it? I'm not quite sure what you mean by command line or where to locate it. I'm running VSP on the Mac OS if that helps.

Thanks

The VSPAERO solver and viewer are separate executables from vsp. They
can be run from the Mac OS command line.

This presentation:

http://www.openvsp.org/wiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=workshop15:vspaero_2015.pdf

Discusses the VSPAERO integration and shows the equivalent command
line parameters for various actions.
