AIM Inputs

The following list outlines the TACS inputs along with their default value available through the AIM interface. Unless noted these values will be not be linked to any parent AIMs with variables of the same name.

• Proj_Name = "tacs_CAPS"
  This corresponds to the project name used for file naming.
• Property = NULL
  Property tuple used to input property information for the model, see FEA Property for additional details.
• Material = NULL
  Material tuple used to input material information for the model, see FEA Material for additional details.
• Constraint = NULL
  Constraint tuple used to input constraint information for the model, see FEA Constraint for additional details.
• Load = NULL
  Load tuple used to input load information for the model, see FEA Load for additional details.
• Analysis = NULL
  Analysis tuple used to input analysis/case information for the model, see FEA Analysis for additional details.
• Analysis_Type = "Modal"
  Type of analysis to generate files for, options include "Modal", "Static", "AeroelasticTrim", "AeroelasticFlutter", and "Optimization". Note: "Aeroelastic" and "StaticOpt" are still supported and refer to "AeroelasticTrim" and "Optimization".
• File_Format = "Small"
  Formatting type for the bulk file. Options: "Small", "Large", "Free".
• Mesh_File_Format = "Small"
  Formatting type for the mesh file. Options: "Small", "Large", "Free".

  The design variable tuple is used to input design variable information for the model optimization, see FEA Design Variables for additional details.
• Design_Variable_Relation = NULL
  The design variable relation tuple is used to input design variable relation information for the model optimization, see FEA DesignVariableRelation for additional details.
• Design_Constraint = NULL
  The design constraint tuple is used to input design constraint information for the model optimization, see FEA Design Constraints for additional details.
• Design_Equation = NULL
  The design equation tuple used to input information defining equations for use in design sensitivity, see FEA Design Equations for additional details.
• Design_Table = NULL
  The design table tuple used to input table of real constants used in equations, see FEA Table Constants for additional details.
• Design_Response = NULL
  The design response tuple used to input design sensitivity response information, see FEA Design Responses for additional details.
• Design_Equation_Response = NULL
  The design equation response tuple used to input design sensitivity equation response information, see FEA Design Equation Responses for additional details.
• Design_Opt_Param = NULL
  The design optimization parameter tuple used to input parameters used in design optimization.
• Support = NULL
  Support tuple used to input support information for the model, see FEA Support for additional details.
• Connect = NULL
  Connect tuple used to define connection to be made in the, see FEA Connection for additional details.
• Parameter = NULL
  Parameter tuple used to define PARAM entries. Note, entries are output exactly as inputed, that is, if the PARAM entry requires an integer entry the user must input an integer!
• Mesh_Morph = False
  Project previous surface mesh onto new geometry.
• Mesh = NULL
  A Mesh link.
