Aerodynamic tolerances overrides #214

Closed raidernick closed 6 years ago

raidernick commented 7 years ago

@ferram4 making this issue to remind you to look into creating overrides for parts that need higher aerodynamic tolerances like the jupiter atmospheric probe I mentioned.

This should be possible in https://github.com/ferram4/Ferram-Aerospace-Research/commit/91724c390bc03759fc69ce63e6524af4a1bda2a9

Add a ModuleManager block for that code like so:

@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[FARAeroPartModule]]:AFTER[FerramAerospaceResearch]
{
    @MODULE[FARAeroPartModule]
    {
        FARPartStressTemplate
        {
        //Stress values are based on projected area, measured in kPa; Y is based on cross-sectional, while XZ is based on the projected side area
            YmaxStress = 500
            XZmaxStress = 100
        }
    }
}

It is important that AFTER[FerramAerospaceResearch] be used to ensure that all parts have FARAeroPartModules applied. Increase the numbers above as needed; if the joint fails while oriented exactly into the flow, increase YmaxStress. If it is wobbling or going sideways when it shouldn't fail, increase XZmasStress.
