Wide Body Fuselage Model #91

Closed mayork closed 7 years ago

Bjarni's wide body fuselage model

whoburg commented 7 years ago

This looks like it shares a lot with fuselage.py. Instead of creating a copy, how about directly editing fuselage.py (on the branch) to generalize it to widebody?

will make it easier to track the diffs.

mayork commented 7 years ago

the plan was that @bjarni177 was going to edit wide_body_fuselage.py, which is currently a copy of fuselage.py, to create the wide body model. Are you saying he should just directly edit fuselage.py and rename once the model is complete?

mayork commented 7 years ago

@bjarni177 change of plans. I talked to Woody and understand what he was saying. Just edit the fuselage.py file. Allow it to run in two modes, narrow and wide body (just an if else statement that changes which constraints are used). This will also make it easier to track any model improvements you make to the fuselage.

bjarni177 commented 7 years ago

I agree.

mayork commented 7 years ago

@pgkirsch is your fuselage model where do you assume the beams are located under the passenger floor (i.e. how far from the center)?

pgkirsch commented 7 years ago

I'm afraid I can't remember, but it will be whatever the TASOPT 2.08 documentation says.
