 ### Changed
 - The fields that had as type a `Matrix of size Px1` have now the type `Vector` 
 - Many new fields of the type `VSMSolution` documented
-- `init!(body_aero)` is now a public function
+- `reinit!(body_aero)` is now a public function
 ### Added
 - Added the option to use nonlinear solve to calculate the gamma distribution #140
 - New page `Tips and tricks` added to the documentation

 Currently, the `solve!()` function returns the results as [VSMSolution](@ref) struct. The function solve() returns a dictionary with the results. The `solve!()` function is faster, and the `solve()` contains many more entries, therefore the first function is good for integration in dynamic models and the second one better suited for aerodynamic analysis.
 
 ## Performance
-Calling `init!(body_aero; init_aero=false)` is very fast. After calling `deform!(wing)`, you have to run `init!(body_aero; init_aero=false)` to apply the deformed wing to the body aerodynamics. This is in turn necessary for the linearization from deformation to aerodynamic coefficients for RAM-air kites.
+Calling `reinit!(body_aero; init_aero=false)` is very fast. After calling `deform!(wing)`, you have to run `reinit!(body_aero; init_aero=false)` to apply the deformed wing to the body aerodynamics.
