Card 12
REINF:
free-stream Reynolds number
REFLEN:
reference length used to calculate REINF
IDRAG:
when the value is 0, no viscous drag is calculated. When the value is 1, a
viscous drag calculation is performed.
Note
: if IDRAG is 1 and a stab/control run is being run – the drag used in
the S&C calculations will be the TOTAL drag (Cdi + Cdf)
NUMREN:
number of Reynolds numbers in Mach/Re/Cl-Cd table
NUMMCH
: number of Mach numbers in Mach/Re/Cl-Cd table
Slice Tab
Auto Slice
Auto Find:
places a key slice wherever a slope discontinuity in the shape occurs.
Auto Eliminate:
removes any unnecessary key slices.
Auto Merge:
combines any key slices placed closely together.
Auto Slice:
places interpolated slices throughout the structure
Auto All:
will simultaneously Auto Find, Auto Eliminate, Auto Merge and Auto Slice.
Flat Plate:
approximates a 2D geometry from the figure.
Swap XY:
interchanges X and Y values.
Reset:
will restore the original conditions.
