The following list outlines the AVL inputs along with their default value available through the AIM interface.
- Mach = 0.0
Mach number.
- Alpha = NULL
Angle of attack [degree]. Either CL or Alpha must be defined but not both.
- Beta = 0.0
Sideslip angle [degree].
- RollRate = 0.0
Non-dimensional roll rate.
- PitchRate = 0.0
Non-dimensional pitch rate.
- YawRate = 0.0
Non-dimensional yaw rate.
- CDp = 0.0
A fixed value of profile drag to be added to all simulations.
- AVL_Surface = NULL
See Vortex Lattice Surface for additional details.
- AVL_Control = NULL
See Vortex Lattice Control Surface for additional details.
- CL = NULL
Coefficient of Lift. AVL will solve for Angle of Attack. Either CL or Alpha must be defined but not both.
- Moment_Center = NULL, [0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
Array values correspond to the Xref, Yref, and Zref variables. Alternatively, the geometry (body) attributes "capsReferenceX", "capsReferenceY", and "capsReferenceZ" may be used to specify the X-, Y-, and Z- reference centers, respectively (note: values set through the AIM input will supersede the attribution values).
