function tiglWingGetMAC runs infinitely long for wings with winglets/multi-element sections
From [email protected] on April 11, 2014 16:22:57
Version: TIGL 2.1.1, input file: CPACS 2.1.
The function tiglWingGetMAC runs infinitely long and does not return values for configurations with winglets. Possible causes:
- wing definition contains multiple elements per section
- winglet is rotated 90 or -90 deg with respect to wing tip
See the zip file for two cpacs versions, one with winglet and one in which the winglet is commented out. The one with winglet produces the problem.

The problem seems to be there for area calculations as well (tiglWingGetSurfaceArea, tiglWingGetReferenceArea).

I can reproduce the error for tiglWingGetSurfaceArea. For tiglWingGetReferenceArea and for tiglWingGetMAC I can't reproduce the error. The error is reproduced in MATLAB. I will investigate the error in our C++ test cases

The problem lies in the wing loft creation. Somehow, the BRepOffsetAPI_Thrusection algorithm goes into an infinite loop. As a workaround it might help to model the winglets as separate wings.
I am closing this as outdated. Feel free to re-open this issue if it is still relevant.
