12.12: Display 3D-Model
The marked button is used to display a solid model of the airplane.
The Vortex-Lattice-Method uses for computation only the camber surface. For
better imagination of the airplane the possibility to display the outer
surfaces was implemented. If this button for solid modelling is selected, the
panel normal vectors, the force vectors as well as all bound vortices will not
be displayed, because they are related to the camber surface model.
The following pictures show the flying wing ARADO.
