2020 VSP WS: Basic Modeling Demo

These videos are recordings of individual presentations and demos from the 2020 OpenVSP Workshop. Presentation materials and additional media may be found at openvsp.org/wik.... The Open Vehicle Sketch Pad (OpenVSP) parametric modeling software is available at openvsp.org/. To learn more about how to use OpenVSP, a larger library of material is hosted and organized by NASA LaRC at vspu.larc.nasa....

Thanks for watching!

This was very unhelpful. I downloaded a picture of an aircraft online but this video did not help because I didn't find the picture on VSP

[@openvspvideos5394]

The formats for a background image file are JPG, PNG, TGA, BMP, or GIF. You will see the demonstration on how to set a background image at 2:32 in the video. Navigate to the image location and choose the file to place a background image.

​@@openvspvideos5394 I had the same problem and couldn't set the background image，I tried png, jpg images as background images but nothing changed. Only the background color can be changed normally. I've also tried downloading different versions of openvsp, all without success. I can't understand why this is the case.

[@user-ng1kd4ni5p]

In addition to the picture format requirements, the picture name can only use English letters or numbers, and pictures named in other languages ​​cannot be opened.

Is it possible to change the software to SI units?

[@openvspvideos5394]

OpenVSP is mostly dimensionless -- the units are whatever you want them to be. Some of the analysis tools need dimensional inputs -- but they just need to be done in a consistent manner.
