- If doing a wing-body-tail case, create 2 copies of the MDO lift distribution file, then modify each to contain either wing or tail lift dist data
- Integrate total lift using data in the _wing and _tail lift dist files created in step 1. Use the script "GARDN/scripts/calcTotalLift_new"
- Needs an input parameters file called "calcTotalLift.input.param"
- Creates summary output file with extension "-integrated_lift.out"
- Compare integrated lifts with total aircraft weight at corresponding operating condition. Total aircraft weight can be obtained from the MDO mission data file.
