Excel to object input - more blade keypoints along the circumference? #44

Open Marros67 opened 1 year ago

Marros67 commented 1 year ago

Hi! Is it possible to add more blade keypoints to the blade circumference ? We want to add more internal web stiffeners, and are looking into ways of adding points where to attach these webs. In Numad 2.0 there were many points defined, whereas in Numad 3.0 and "Excel to object input" we seem to have a limited number of points to choose from. Is there a way to make it work using Excel and Numad 3.0 with many internal webs? Best regards, Martin Rosander

Hi Martin, Currently, NuMAD 3.0 only supports a fixed number of keypoints, meaning there can only be two internal shear webs, this was initially done to streamline optimization studies. We realize this is a limitation, and we are actively working on making it more flexible in the future. If you want to add more shear webs I would recommend using v2.0 which allowed for an unlimited number of key points or division points as it was called back then. Best, Ryan
