AIM Inputs

The following list outlines the FlightStream inputs along with their default values available through the AIM interface.

• ProjName = "himach_CAPS"
  Name for files generated by HI-Mach AIM.
• HIMach = "himach.exe"
  The name of the HI-Mach executable. May include full path.
• Mach = NULL
  Mach number
• Alpha = 0.0 (default)
  Angle of attack [degree]
• Beta = 0.0 (default)
  Sideslip angle
• gamma = 1.4 (default)
  Specific heat ratio
• Nose_Axis = "x-" (default)
  Geometric nose axis direction. Must be one of: "x-", "x+", "y-", "y+", "z-", "z+"
• Pitch_Axis = "z-" (default)
  Geometric pitch axis direction. Must be one of: "x-", "x+", "y-", "y+", "z-", "z+"
• ReferenceChord = NULL
  This sets the reference chord for used in force and moment calculations. Alternatively, the geometry (body) attribute (see Attribution) "capsReferenceChord" maybe used to specify this variable (note: values set through the AIM input will supersede the attribution value).
• ReferenceSpan = NULL
  This sets the reference span for used in force and moment calculations. Alternatively, the geometry (body) attribute (see Attribution) "capsReferenceSpan" maybe used to specify this variable (note: values set through the AIM input will supersede the attribution value).
• ReferenceArea = NULL
  This sets the reference area for used in force and moment calculations. Alternatively, the geometry (body) attribute (see Attribution) "capsReferenceArea" maybe used to specify this variable (note: values set through the AIM input will supersede the attribution value).
• ReferenceX = NULL
  This sets the reference X for moment calculations. Alternatively, the geometry (body) attribute (see Attribution) "capsReferenceX" maybe used to specify this variable (note: values set through the AIM input will supersede the attribution value).
• ReferenceX = NULL
  This sets the reference Y for moment calculations. Alternatively, the geometry (body) attribute (see Attribution) "capsReferenceY" maybe used to specify this variable (note: values set through the AIM input will supersede the attribution value).
• ReferenceX = NULL
  This sets the reference Z for moment calculations. Alternatively, the geometry (body) attribute (see Attribution) "capsReferenceZ" maybe used to specify this variable (note: values set through the AIM input will supersede the attribution value).
  • ReferenceVelocity = NULL
    This sets the reference velocity ‍/
