Add the ability to set ncrit for xfoil calculations #23

Open JeanMRog opened 3 years ago

JeanMRog commented 3 years ago

ncrit is a key parameter of xfoil it is important to be able to set it, the default value of 9 is not always the most adequate setting depending of the usage. gliders will look at values of 10 and above foil in water will look at values around 3.

add this lines after defining mach number line like below screenshot

    # ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    #    Defining N-crit Number in VPAR
    # ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    # issueCmd('MACH {!s}'.format(Mach))
    # Defining the N-Crit Number in Viscous Setting
    issueCmd('VPAR')
    issueCmd('n')
    # Defining N-Crit number
    issueCmd('%f' % Ncrit)
    issueCmd('')
