Does anyone know the ideal location to place winglets where they will merge with the wing tip? I attached what I am getting right now.

Unless you're doing CFD with this model, it will be fine in SUAVE. You can plot the VLM panelization with this. It should be a continuous surface.

How do you suggest integrating the VLM panelization script into the existing code with the vehicle setup outputting to OpenVSP?

Once the vehicle is created in the vehicle_setup function, simply add this line plot_vehicle_vlm_panelization(vehicle) after the line where you export to OpenVSP.
Make sure to import the function in the header of your file.
