New Features

Panel Assembly

  • simulation of unstiffened cylinders using an assembly of curved panels
  • simulation of blade-stiffened cylinders using an assembly of flat and curved panels

Enhancements:

  • general code simplification possible due to the enhancements detailed below

ConeCyl

  • fix compatibility with Python 3 for conecyl
  • tests for conecyl

Panel

  • non-linear static analysis for Panel
  • panel.connections.penalty_constants based on COST paper
  • pass panel object instead of w1tx, w2tx to connections, field and stiffness
    matrices

Panel Assembly

  • huge improvements on how the assembly calculates structural matrices

Stiffener

  • panel.offset now used to calculate laminaprop. Before the offset was only used for the inertia properties
    when calculating kM, but not for the stiffness matrix
  • replaced bladestiff2d model with already existing panel models
  • replaced tstiff2d base-flange connectivity matrices by those in
    panel.connections
  • remove support to integrate from x1 to x2 in TStiff2D
  • TStiff2D no longer recommended due to highly numerical instability

StiffPanelBay

  • huge code simplification
