Check installed OpenVSP/VSPAERO readiness, versions, paths and package identity. Launches a temporary OpenVSP API probe and a solver version command; no aerodynamic solve or user model is involved. Returns status=error with check details when unavailable; use openvsp.preflight to check a particular model's geometry sets.

Create a new .vsp3 model from the four-component simple_aircraft template or custom trusted AngelScript, without an input model. Runs OpenVSP and retains the model, script, log and manifest in a unique directory under output_dir; no VSPAERO solve. Use openvsp.modify to edit an existing source model.

Read component IDs, wing names and a component summary directly from .vsp3 XML. Does not launch OpenVSP, write files or modify the source; unreadable or invalid XML fails. Use openvsp.query for native parameter values or analysis defaults.

Edit an existing model with trusted AngelScript and/or parameter ID/value edits. Runs OpenVSP on a snapshot, retains run artifacts and replaces the source only after validation; refuses replacement if the source changed during the run. No VSPAERO solve; use openvsp.set_parameters for a focused typed-edit request.

Export preview.svg and preview.stl for a model, optionally applying edits to a private copy. Runs OpenVSP and retains exports, model, script, log and manifest in a unique run directory without replacing the source or running VSPAERO. Use openvsp.inspect for file-only metadata, or openvsp.preflight for geometry-set checks.

Check selected thick/thin geometry sets before a VSPAERO run; rejects missing, empty or overlapping sets and reports reference/unit warnings. Runs OpenVSP on a private copy and retains run artifacts without replacing the source or executing VSPAERO. Does not assess intersections, mesh quality or aerodynamic accuracy; use openvsp.run_vspaero for coefficients and verified solver-file settings.

Run one steady subsonic VSPAERO condition after geometry-set preflight. Runs native processes on a private model copy, retaining solver artifacts, coefficients and verified settings without replacing the source; the native timeout excludes preparation, CPU admission and validation. Failures retain run/log paths, and success does not certify convergence; use openvsp.sweep for sequential conditions or openvsp.batch_submit for independent jobs.

Solve 1-25 explicit steady conditions sequentially using one source snapshot and shared optional commands; each condition has its own complete analysis settings. Runs OpenVSP/VSPAERO and retains per-condition artifacts plus sweep.json without replacing the source; timeout_seconds is the whole-sweep budget and failures retain partial results. Use openvsp.batch_submit for durable independent cases, per-case parameter edits and bounded parallel execution.

List installed analyses, read analysis input types/defaults, or read paginated geometry parameter IDs, values and limits. Launches OpenVSP using temporary files and an optional model snapshot, preserving the source; model-free capability lists may use a five-minute cache. Native defaults may depend on the model and do not imply wrapper execution support; use openvsp.inspect for XML-only inspection and openvsp.set_parameters to apply returned IDs.

Apply typed parameter ID/value edits obtained from openvsp.query in one OpenVSP load/update. Verifies limits and final readback, retains run artifacts and replaces the source after validation; rejects concurrent source changes. No VSPAERO solve; use openvsp.modify when trusted AngelScript commands are needed.

Read a saved operation manifest's coefficients, settings, diagnostics and optional bounded log tail without launching OpenVSP/VSPAERO or writing files. Pass an operation's manifest_path as manifest_file; unknown coefficient names or invalid manifests fail. Use openvsp.batch_status or openvsp.batch_export for batch.json, which is not an operation manifest. Known undefined ratios return explicit reasons.

Submit 1-1000 independent steady cases with per-case settings/parameter edits and bounded parallel jobs/CPU use. Creates a durable batch directory and private model snapshots, then runs OpenVSP/VSPAERO in background workers while preserving the source; returns an initial status without waiting for completion. No automatic retry; use openvsp.batch_status, openvsp.batch_cancel, openvsp.batch_resume and openvsp.batch_export for lifecycle control, or openvsp.sweep for a blocking sequential conditions list.

Read batch status, counts, resource limits and a paginated case summary, including after restart. Opens or creates .batch.lock to check runner ownership, but does not rewrite batch.json or run a solver. Reports interrupted when a saved running batch has no owner; use openvsp.batch_resume explicitly to retry it.

Request cancellation of selected case IDs, or the whole batch when case_ids is empty. Updates live job state and signals active native work; returns current status, so poll openvsp.batch_status for cleanup completion. Preserves successful results and does not delete artifacts; a batch owned by another server must be cancelled through that owner, and retry requires openvsp.batch_resume.

Explicitly retry selected non-successful cases, or all when case_ids is empty, in an idle batch. Verifies source/snapshot, package and native binary identities, specification and successful artifacts before updating job state and launching background work; successful cases are reused, never rerun. Identity changes including metadata-only package updates are rejected; use the original runtime to resume or openvsp.batch_submit for a new batch.

Export a saved batch manifest snapshot, including inputs, coefficients and pending/failed rows, to results.csv and results.json. Creates a new export directory inside the batch on every call without running a solver, rewriting batch.json or changing existing artifacts. Use openvsp.batch_status for a paginated progress summary or openvsp.read_results for one operation manifest.
