2.0.1

Released: 02/10/2012

• General Changes:
  • Fixed geometry transformations like sweep angle and dihedral angle rotating sections
  • Fixed scalings that lead to a translation of sections
  • Datasets with CPACS Version < 2.0 are now rejected
  • Calculation of fused fuselage, wing, and airplane should not crash anymore
  • Removed memory leaks
  • Cmake based project files
  • Prepared for OpenCascade? 6.5.3
  • Windows 64 Bit builds available
• TiGLViewer:
  • Fixed inconsistent hot keys and menu entries for views
  • Console window showing outputs of TIGL and OpenCascade?
  • Wireframe mode
  • Recent Documents menu entry

2.0

Released: 20/03/2012

• General Changes:

  • Compatible with CPACS 2.0
  • Corrected the implicit rotation of fuselage and wing profiles. They shouldn't turn from x-y to x-z by TIGL
  • TIGL now uses the coordinate system of parent components for child components. This is only done when parent --> child relations could be figured out via UIDs.
  • Profile points could now also be stored as the vector (x ,y, and z) containing all profile points.
  • Some XPath have changed in CPACS 2.0, for example "sweepangle" is now "sweepAngle". TIGL is taking care of these changes.

• New API Functions:

  • tiglFuselageGetSymmetry and tiglWingGetSymmetry for querying symmetry information
  • tiglWingGetReferenceArea gives the reference area of a wing
  • tiglWingComponentSegmentFindSegment returns the segmentUID and wingUID for a given point on a componentSegment
  • tiglWingGetWettedArea a new function for caluclating wetted area of a wing
    tiglWingComponentSegmentPointGetSegmentEtaXsireturns eta, xsi, segmentUID and wingUID for a given eta and xsi on
    • a componentSegment

• TiGLViewer:

  • Complete rebuild of TIGLViewer. It is now QT based and platform independent
  • TIGLViewer now updates the view when the cpacs file is changed.

1.0

Released: 31/08/2011

• Changed API:
  • tiglOpenCpacsConfiguration now opens a configuration without specification if the uid if it is the only one in the data set. Simply take NULL or en empty string as uid argument.
  • Added a Python wrapper for the C-code and DLL handling (no need to manually convert cpython variables to python)
• New API Functions
  • tiglComponentIntersectionPoint Returns a point on the intersection line of two geometric components. Often there are more one intersection line, therefore you need to specify the line.
  • tiglComponentIntersectionLineCount Returns the number if intersection lines of two geometric components.
  • tiglComponentGetHashCode Computes a hash value to represent a specific shape. The value is computed from the value of the underlying shape reference and the Orientation is not taken into account.
  • tiglFuselageGetMinumumDistanceToGround Returns the point where the distance between the selected fuselage and the ground is at minimum. Fuselage could be turned with a given angle at at given axis, specified by a point and a direction.
• TIGLViewer
  • now could draw the componentSegment of a selected wing.

0.9

Released: 29/04/2011

• General Changes:
  • Fixed a bug that leads to strange errors when the first positioning of a Wing is not in the origin and has not innerSectionUID-element.
  • Removed annoying strErr message when a point miss one parameter.
  • TIGL 64-Bit libs are available for linux.
  • TIGL is now able to open rotocraft configurations as well as aircraft
