During the import the polars are calculated automatically using XFoil. This approach is valid for rigid wings and ram-air kites, but not for leading edge inflatable kites.</p><p>Surfplan files can be converted to an input for <code>VortexStepMethod.jl</code> using the <a href="https://github.com/jellepoland/SurfplanAdapter">SurfplanAdapter</a>.</p><h2 id="Output"><a class="docs-heading-anchor" href="#Output">Output</a><a id="Output-1"></a><a class="docs-heading-anchor-permalink" href="#Output" title="Permalink"></a></h2><ul><li>the aerodynamic forces Fx, Fy, Fz</li><li>the aerodynamic moments Mx, My, Mz</li><li>the force coefficients CL, CD, CS (side force coefficient)</li><li>the status of the solver (is the result valid)</li></ul><p>In addition, the spanwise distribution of these and additional values are available.</p><p>See also the <a href="https://opensourceawe.github.io/VortexStepMethod.jl/dev/">documentation</a>.</p><h2 id="Citation"><a class="docs-heading-anchor" href="#Citation">Citation</a><a id="Citation-1"></a><a class="docs-heading-anchor-permalink" href="#Citation" title="Permalink"></a></h2><p>If you use this project in your research, please consider citing it.
