AIM Inputs

For the description of the configuration variables, associated values, and available options refer to the template configuration file that is distributed with SU2. Note: The configuration file is dependent on the version of SU2 used. This configuration file that will be auto generated is compatible with SU2 4.1.1. (Cardinal), 5.0.0 (Raven), 6.2.0 (Falcon), 7.5.1 (Blackbird) or 8.3.0 (Harrier - Default)

Alternatively, the geometry (body) attributes "capsReferenceX", "capsReferenceY", and "capsReferenceZ" may be used to specify the x-, y-, and z- moment centers, respectively (note: values set through the AIM input will supersede the attribution values).
