KiteUtils

Utilities for simulating kite power systems.

This package is the foundation of Julia Kite Power Tools, which consist of the following packages:

What to install

If you want to run simulations and see the results in 3D, please install the meta package KiteSimulators . If you have already KiteSimulators installed, use using KiteSimulators instead of using KiteUtils. If you just want to learn how this package works quickly just install only this package.

Installation

If you have not yet installed Julia 1.10 or newer, follow these installation instructions. You can add KiteUtils from Julia's package manager, by typing
