Hi,
I'm at the beginning of my uav project, and I try to máke a simulation of my uav design. I want to use avl or tornado in order to get the needed derivatives for my matlab aircraft simulation.

I used avl26, but I can't load the .avl file (I made with the manual), to view the geometry. I found on the internet some other xx.avl files which don't work either. I always get the error that the 2nd line is wrong, no matter how i change it, or type nonsense?? Is the problem the avl version?? has anybody a runnung version avl and maybe a example .avl file?

after this I tried to work with tornado 130b. but there too I can't view the geometry, I always get an errro, that in the geomtry.mat on line 33 (plot3(lattice.XYZ, .....,......)) there is an matrix dimension error. I couldn't sort this error out. I am using matlab 6.5, Is anyone using tornado130b, or has an older running version I can use??

thanks
stef
