Update Aviary engine deck format with optional delineation of dependent and independent variables #309

Open jkirk5 opened 4 months ago

jkirk5 commented 4 months ago

Desired capability or behavior.

Support the addition of a blank column in-between independent and dependent variables to allow users to communicate which variables their specific engine supports. If the blank column isn't provided, assume the default independent variables (Mach, alt, throttle)

The code to actually generate the interpolators will need to be updated in engine_deck.py with this updated format - this is also a good place to start using the interpolator builder utils that are available for aero (they dynamically create an interpolator object based on provided independent and dependent variable data)

After further discussion with team, the blank column may be replaced with specifying variable type through the header, or a second row of headers
