Cart3D Data Transfer

Data transfer to Cart3D (FieldIn)

• "Displacement"
  Retrieves nodal displacements (as from a structural solver) and updates Cart3D's surface mesh.

The Cart3D AIM has the ability to transfer surface data (e.g. pressure distributions) to and from the AIM using the conservative and interpolative data transfer schemes in CAPS. Currently these transfers may only take place on triangular meshes.

Data transfer from Cart3D (FieldOut)

• "Pressure"
  Loads the pressure distribution from Components.i.trix file. This distribution may be scaled based on Pressure = Pressure_Scale_Factor*Pressure, where "Pressure_Scale_Factor" is an AIM input (AIM Inputs)
