After more than a year of development, we finally released TiGL 3.0. TiGL 3 is the first release that is compatible with the CPACS 3 standard.
TiGL 3 contains many changes, but the most important ones are:
- CPACS 3 compatibility. TiGL will now be able to read CPACS 3 files. TiGL 3 is not backwards compatible.
To process CPACS 2 files, please use the TiGL 2 releases. We encourage all our users, to switch to CPACS 3
as it fixes many problematic parametrizations and definitions, that finally lead to problems in TiGL and other software.
To convert your CPACS files, you can use our tool
cpacs2to3. - Change of the wing component segment definition. This new definition fixes the problem, that some of the wing component segment coordinates don't have a corresponding point on the wing surface.
- Change of the wing structural definition and improved modeling of it. Please have a look on our blog post for more information.
- Modeling of the fuselage structure, nacelles and pylons.
- Deleted deprecated functions, such as the old intersection API.
- Improved modeling algorithms.
Compared with the TiGL 3.0.0-rc2 release candidate, only minor bug fixes have been added:
- The function
tiglSetDebugDataDirectory, to set the output directory of debugging data. - Bugfix in
tiglWingGetWettedArea - Smaller compiler fixes with new OpenCASCADE versions
