This script is used to parse XFLR5 files into CSV files. Run it using:
python3 xflr5_polar_parser -i myfolder -o myfile.csv
myfolder should be a folder full of polars with different flap deflections.
The foil should be named "somefoil blah balh d10" where 10 would be the flap deflection amount.
The workflow for generating a new set of deflected foils looks like:
- Go into XFLR5 and generate a bunch of foils labeled "foil d0", "foil d5"..
- Export polars using Polars > Export All Polars > New folder
- Run
python3 xflr5_polar_parser -i myfolder -o myfile.csv
A whole folder:
python3 xflr5_polar_parser.py -f raw_polars/ -o allPolars.csv
A single file:
python3 xflr5_polar_parser.py -i testPolar.txt -o testPolar.csv
- pandas
- argparse
