Re: [Jsbsim-devel] Multi-dimensional tables

[Alan T. <ajt...@v-...>]

Yes Sean got the words that I meant. ;-) Thanks.

What I am looking for is a way to break up the coefficient tables into 
sections that are split into the high alpha ranges that are applicable at 
low speeds, and low alpha ranges which are achievable at high speeds.

My WIP stalls at 30 degrees incidence on the approach, but would probably 
break the airframe at 5 degrees when supersonic.

At the moment each coefficient has a table covering the whole incidence 
range for each Mach number, so in this case the tables cover the range -10 
to 40 degrees incidence and Mach numbers 0-2. .

My solution at the moment is to extrapolate the data to make up numbers to 
fill in the grid at the high speed end, but these numbers are really just 
meaningless rubbish and are only there to complete a sparse matrix.

Ah, yes - thanks for that. That explains it. JSBSim table lookups only do
gridded tables - not ungridded/sparse. There are a number of methods one
could take to fill in the blanks and IMHO it's better to do that offline.
It's sort of an art, in my experience.
