Utilities for simulating kite power systems.
This package is the foundation of Julia Kite Power Tools, which consist of the following packages:
If you want to run simulations and see the results in 3D, please install the meta package KiteSimulators . If you have already KiteSimulators installed, use using KiteSimulators instead of using KiteUtils.
If you just want to learn how this package works quickly just install only this package.
If you have not yet installed Julia 1.10 or newer, follow these installation instructions. You can add KiteUtils from Julia's package manager, by typing
using Pkg
pkg"add KiteUtils"at the Julia prompt. You can run the unit tests by typing:
pkg"test KiteUtils"You can create a demo project by typing:
mkdir demo
cd demo
julia --project=.and then, on the Julia prompt type:
using Pkg
pkg"add KiteUtils"
KiteUtils.install_examples()This creates the folders data and examples. You can view and modify the examples with a text editor of your choice, e.g. notepad++ if you are using Windows or gedit on Linux. You can execute them by typing:
menu()and select one of the examples with the cursor keys and press enter.
- functions for coordinate system transformations
- functions for reading configuration files
