Wing cutout geometry with leading edge devices

[hardt-fa-flb]

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding the leading edge devices: is it possible to generate a wing geometry from TIGL in which the cutouts for trailing AND leading edge devices are taken into account? The CCPACSWing::GetLoftWithCutouts method unfortunately only considers the trailing edge devices. Here is my use case:

tigl-slats.zip

Best regards,

Daniel

The leading edge devices are unfortunately not implemented yet.

Is it planned to include the LE devices into the calculation in the near future?

Unfortunately, this is not on our near future roadmap. Do you have a critical use case that requires this? If yes, I would suggest scheduling a video conference to discuss either quick workarounds or ways to push this development in TiGL.

I'm currently working on a project which needs the cut outs for LE and TE devices, but that project is not DLR related. We would need the functionality till the end of the year. I assume with this background I need to implement a workaround for this issue?

Yes, I am afraid so. I am happy to help in figuring something out. It all depends on how complex the cutouts have to be. In the simplest case, you could just have a Boolean Cut with a box, as in https://github.com/rainman110/tigl-workshop/blob/master/Exercises/solutions/Exercise2_Customization_Visualization_Solution.ipynb.

Thanks for the workshop notebook! I think I'll use it for the workaround.
