the problem of the tutorial 9- Optimal Shape Design of a Fixed Wing

Hello all,

As I do Optimal Shape Design of Fixed Wing, using FFD method, SU2 does not come to a solution

For the first step everything runs smoothly, but when i enter "python shape_optimization.py -f inv_ONERAM6.cfg -g 1.0", it runs for a while and come to a Error " unrecognized gradient method". it asked me to look at gradients.py line 118, so i read the the gradients file, but i still don't understand where should i identify "method"? in gradients.py or other places?

I strictly followed the instructions of the tutorial.

I'm new to SU2 software and I'm very appreciate for all of your help!

The problem has been solved!

Just remove "-g 1.0" then it works

Merci Doctor Economon
