Error while running the flappingwing function

[M4H1-K]

While running the flappingwing function, it gives the following error:

PP is used in the following code snippet:

  # ---------------- FLUID DOMAIN --------------------------
  P_min = [0, -fdom_y_len/2, 0]
  P_max = [fdom_x_len, fdom_y_len/2, fdom_z_len]
  fdom = vlm.PP.FluidDomain(P_min, P_max, fdom_NDIVS)
  fdom_O = vlm.countertransform(b_O , inv(sys_Oaxis), sys_O)
  fdom_O += -[1, 0, 0]*fdom_x_len/14  - [0, 0, 1]*fdom_z_len*1/2
  # fdom_Oaxis = sys_Oaxis
  fdom_Oaxis = [1.0 0 0; 0 1 0; 0 0 1]
  vlm.PP.setcoordsystem(fdom, fdom_O, fdom_Oaxis)
  # --------------------------------------------------------

However, I could not find any function called "PP" in the VLM src files. Can you please guide me on how to resovle this issue?

The examples in this repo are outdated and not supported. FLOWVLM now works just as a dependency of FLOWUnsteady, which provides the same capabilities that were first prototyped in the flappingwing example. I'd recommend trying to set up a your flapping wing simulation with FLOWUnsteady instead (use the tutorials in the docs as a starting point).

Thank you so much!

I was able to simulate the flapping bird using FLOWUnsteady, but the values obtained for cl and cd are incorrect (image is attached below).
Can you please guide me on how to calculate lift for this case?
