AIM Attributes

The following list of attributes drives the FRICTION geometric definition. Aircraft components are defined as cross sections in the low fidelity geometry definition. To be able to logically group the cross sections into wings, tails, fuselage, etc they must be given a grouping attribute. This attribute defines a logical group along with identifying a set of cross sections as a lifting surface or a body of revolution. The format is as follows.
