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.
capsType This string attribute labels the FaceBody as to which type the section is assigned. This information is also used to logically group sections together by type to create wings, tails, stores, etc. Because AWAVE is relatively rigid capsType attributes must be on of the following items:
Lifting Surfaces: Wing, Tail, HTail, VTail, Horizontal_Tail, Vertical_Tail, Canard
Body of Revolution: Fuselage, Fuse, Store
