NET WING LOADS PROGRAM

GENERAL

The  program NETLOADS.BAS calculates the spanwise  net  wing
loads,  shears and moments along the quarter chord of  the  wing.
Input  data required are the airloads and inertia loads  for  the
selected  critical loads for the wing. The program  algebraically
adds the airloads and inertia and prints the results.

MENU

A menu is provided to choose the activity you want as
follows:

1. Initialize new data file

2. Load, review and update old file

3. Calculate net loads

4. Print net loads on paper

5. Copy old file to different name

INITIALIZE NEW DATA FILE

The only input data required to initialize the new data file
are  the filename to which the data will be saved and the  number
of wing load stations (to agree with the airload and inertia load
stations). This sets up the matrix with zero values which will be
loaded with choice number 2 from the menu.

LOAD, REVIEW AND UPDATE OLD FILE

This  choice from the menu reads the old file  you  specify,
presents the data in the matrix one item at a time and allows you
to  accept the data or change it. An initialized file is  an  old
file  which  can be reviewed and changed. This is the  method  of
data entry as well as correction.

CALCULATE NET LOADS

This choice from the menu algebraically adds the airloads at
each load station to the inertia loads to provide the net wing
loads at each wing station.

PRINT NET LOADS ON PAPER

This choice from the menu prints a report page of the net
loads for the specified critical condition. This includes the
coordinates of the quarter chord on the wing reference plane and
the spanwise F^, F^, S^, S^, M^, My^ and M^ at those

coordinates.

COPY OLD FILE TO DIFFERENT NAME

This  choice  from  the menu provides the means  to  make  a
backup of your data. It provides a file to modify or update while
retaining  the original file. When calculating  several  critical
conditions it saves typing in the coordinates again.
