Welcome to the OpenGlider wiki!

This is a project to create open-source paragliding design software.

The plan is to build on:

• python ( http://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/ )
• vtk (visual toolkit, for 3d-output: http://www.vtk.org/)
• include xfoil for 2D-foil calculation ( http://web.mit.edu/drela/Public/web/xfoil/ )
• for quick 3D-calculation use self-coded panelmethod (VSAERO) and/or apame implementation (http://www.3dpanelmethod.com/)
• export for OpenFoam (cfd, http://www.openfoam.com/)
• export for Code_Aster (fem, http://www.code-aster.org - maybe also calculix as we've done already, but it does currently not support membrane elements)

It will take some time, if you want to help, feel free to do so!
