chordwisePartType

Describes the contributions of a specific par within a wing segment to the total aerodynamic coefficients of a wing segment strip

A chordwise part describes the contributions of a specific chordwise part within a wing <strip> to the total aerodynamic coefficients of this <strip>. It extends spatially between the two <eta> positions of the parent <strip> (see <strip> documentation) and four <xsi> positions in the segment coordinate system. As with the parent stips, only the trailing border (..ToSegmentXsi) of a chordwise part is defined, while the leading border always equals the trailing border of the preceding chordwise part (or 0 for the first part). To account for oblique trailing borders (e.g., to match the aileron on a tapered wing) two different ..ToSegmentXsi positions can be defined, one at the inner border (<innerBorderToSegmentXsi>) and one at the outer border (<outerBorderToSegmentXsi>) of the parent strip. The <innerBorderToSegmentXsi> and <outerBorderToSegmentXsi> of the last chordwise part must be equal to 1.
