Over a three-month period, Otto Tijssen developed and enhanced core aerodynamics and structural analysis features for the Boef23/B09_WP4_5_Python repository. He implemented Python-based modules for wing performance modeling, including lift distribution, stress calculations, and margin-of-safety visualizations, while centralizing parameter management to streamline configuration. Otto introduced a stress testing harness and improved preprocessing and IO subsystems, ensuring scalability and data integrity. His work included targeted bug fixes and code refactoring, resulting in more accurate and reliable engineering outputs. By leveraging Python, numerical analysis, and data visualization, Otto delivered a robust, maintainable foundation for ongoing aerospace engineering software development.

January 2025 performance summary for Boef23/B09_WP4_5_Python: Delivered two major features to improve structural stress analysis visuals and configurability, fixed critical core calculation bugs, and enhanced overall reliability and business value of the output. Key deliverables include tensile stress calculations and tensile MoS visualization with MPa scaling, margin-of-safety computation, and labeled plots; improved stress margin plotting with clearer calculations, updated plot labels, and integration of the Parameters module for configuration; and core calculation fixes addressing kv coefficient in applied stress, MoI combination logic, removal of unused MoI variables, and centroid y-centroid reference correction. These changes improve accuracy, provide clearer visual communication, and enable more reliable design decisions for stakeholders.
