Description
Type of issue
- New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
- Documentation update
Description
Plot scripts plot_wing.py, plot_wingbox.py have a lot to be improved.
- Refactor: Two scripts have duplicated methods e.g.
save_video. We should create a parent class to put the common parts. - Refactor: API for plot should be unified for all cases; specify the type of case (multipoint or not, wingbox or not) as an argument to the plot function.
- We should be able to plot multipoint non-wingbox cases, as well as single-point wingbox ones.
plot_wingshould be callable in the python script.- Update the document on visualization. In particular, add 1) how to run the plotter, 2) how you interpret the results (e.g. units of the lift).
- Convergence plot via pyOptSparse and OptView.
