Detailed Description

Generic utility functions for geometric components that fits not only to wings or fuselages.

Function Documentation

TiglReturnCode tiglCheckPointInside	(	TiglCPACSConfigurationHandle	cpacsHandle,
		double	px,
		double	py,
		double	pz,
		const char *	componentUID,
		TiglBoolean *	isInside
	)

Checks whether a point lies inside the given geometric object.

This function works only for solid objects!

Parameters

[in]	cpacsHandle	Handle for the CPACS configuration
[in]	px	X coordinate of point
[in]	py	Y coordinate of point
[in]	pz	Z coordinate of point
[in]	componentUID	UID of the component (e.g. a fuselage UID, wing UID, wing segment UID ...)
[out]	isInside	Returns, whether the point lies inside the object or not.

Returns

TIGL_SUCCESS if no error occurred.
TIGL_NOT_FOUND if no configuration was found for the given handle.
TIGL_UID_ERROR if the component does not exist or is not a geometric object.
TIGL_NULL_POINTER if componentUID or isInside are null.
TIGL_ERROR if some error occurred, e.g. the component is not a solid object.

TiglReturnCode tiglComponentGetHashCode	(	TiglCPACSConfigurationHandle	cpacsHandle,
		const char *	componentUID,
		int *	hashCodePtr
	)

Returns a unique HashCode for a geometric component.

The component, for example a wing or a fuselage, could be specified via its UID. The HashCode is the same as long as the geometry of this component has not changed. The HashCode is valid through the current session only! The hash value is computed from the value of the underlying shape reference.

Parameters

[in]	cpacsHandle	Handle for the CPACS configuration
[in]	componentUID	The uid of the component for which the hash should be computed
[out]	hashCodePtr	The pointer to a hash value to represent this shape

Returns

TIGL_SUCCESS if no error occurred
TIGL_NOT_FOUND if no configuration was found for the given handle
TIGL_NULL_POINTER if surfaceAreaPtr is a null pointer
TIGL_ERROR if some other error occurred

TiglReturnCode tiglConfigurationGetBoundingBox	(	TiglCPACSConfigurationHandle	cpacsHandle,
		double *	minX,
		double *	minY,
		double *	minZ,
		double *	maxX,
		double *	maxY,
		double *	maxZ
	)

Computes the bounding box coordinates of the configuration.

Note, that the resulting values are a fast but very rough approximation!

Parameters

[in]	cpacsHandle	Handle for the CPACS configuration
[out]	minX	Minimum x value
[out]	minY	Minimum y value
[out]	minZ	Minimum z value
[out]	maxX	Maximum x value
[out]	maxY	Maximum y value
[out]	maxZ	Maximum z value

Returns: Error code

TiglReturnCode tiglConfigurationGetLength	(	TiglCPACSConfigurationHandle	cpacsHandle,
		double *	pLength
	)

Returns the length of the plane.

The calculation of the airplane lenght is realized as follows:

All part of the configuration (currently all wing and fuselage segments) are put into a bounding box. The length of the plane is returned as the length of the box in x-direction.

Note, that this resulting value is a fast but very rough approximation!

Parameters

[in]	cpacsHandle	Handle for the CPACS configuration
[out]	pLength	Length of plane

Returns: Error code

const char* tiglGetErrorString ( TiglReturnCode errorCode )

Translates an error code into a string.

Parameters

[in] errorCode Return value of a tigl function

Returns: Error code as a string.

void tiglSetDebugDataDirectory ( const char * directory )

Set the directory path for debug data.

These data are written, in case a tigl function has an internal error.

By default (directory==NULL), these files are written into the current working directory. There, the subdirectory CrashInfo is created.

Parameters

[in] directory Path of the debugging directory.
