Faster XFoil request method #24

Open PedroLuta opened 3 years ago

PedroLuta commented 3 years ago

Hey, I stumbled upon your project and it was very helpful for my personal integration with python and XFoil, thank you very much!!!

I also had to implement an XFoil request method that didn't require disk queries, as it slows down the program a bit. I managed to come up with a method that is 20-30% faster on its requests to xfoil, if you're interested.

It consists of taking xfoil's command prompt output and parsing it, instead of asking xfoil to write the solution on a notepad.

Let me know if i can help with a more general implementation, as what I'm sending to you are my solutions to my research problems. new_xfoil_request.txt
