coefficientsBreakdownStripType

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

The strip extends spatially between two eta coordinates (i.e., from an inner border to an outer border). In order to avoid redundancy, the inner border (denoted as from) is always identical to the outer border of the previous strip (denoted by to). Accordingly, only the to-border can be specified explicitly, while the from-border equals implicitly either to 0 (for the first strip) or the toSegmentEta value of the previous element. The toSegmentEta of the last strip must be equal to 1!

It is obligatory to provide the coefficients of the strip. The breakdown comprises the chordwiseParts and remainingContributions. The latter must only be specified if the breakdown into chordwiseParts is given. This breakdown is optional. If it is specified, but the sum of all chordwiseParts does not match the strip coefficients, one or more remainingContributions may be applied to ensure consistency (sum of all chordwiseParts + sum of all remainingContributions must be equal to total strip coefficients).
