The following list outlines the FUN3D outputs available through the AIM interface. All variables currently correspond to values for all boundaries (total) found in the *.forces file
Net Forces - Pressure + Viscous:
- CLtot = The lift coefficient.
- CDtot = The drag coefficient.
- CMXtot = The moment coefficient about the x-axis.
- CMYtot = The moment coefficient about the y-axis.
- CMZtot = The moment coefficient about the z-axis.
- CXtot = The force coefficient about the x-axis.
- CYtot = The force coefficient about the y-axis.
- CZtot = The force coefficient about the z-axis.
Pressure Forces:
- CLtot_p = The lift coefficient - pressure contribution only.
- CDtot_p = The drag coefficient - pressure contribution only.
- CMXtot_p = The moment coefficient about the x-axis - pressure contribution only.
- CMYtot_p = The moment coefficient about the y-axis - pressure contribution only.
- CMZtot_p = The moment coefficient about the z-axis - pressure contribution only.
- CXtot_p = The force coefficient about the x-axis - pressure contribution only.
- CYtot_p = The force coefficient about the y-axis - pressure contribution only.
- CZtot_p = The force coefficient about the z-axis - pressure contribution only.
Viscous Forces:
- CLtot_v = The lift coefficient - viscous contribution only.
- CDtot_v = The drag coefficient - viscous contribution only.
- CMXtot_v = The moment coefficient about the x-axis - viscous contribution only.
- CMYtot_v = The moment coefficient about the y-axis - viscous contribution only.
- CMZtot_v = The moment coefficient about the z-axis - viscous contribution only.
- CXtot_v = The force coefficient about the x-axis - viscous contribution only.
- CYtot_v = The force coefficient about the y-axis - viscous contribution only.
- CZtot_v = The force coefficient about the z-axis - viscous contribution only.
Force components:
- Forces = Returns a tuple array of JSON string dictionaries of forces and moments for each boundary (combined forces also included). The structure for the Forces tuple = ("Boundary Name", "Value"). "Boundary Name" defines the boundary/component name (or "Total") and the "Value" is a JSON string dictionary. Entries in the dictionary are the same as the other output variables without "tot" in the name (e.g. CL, CD, CMX, CL_p, CMX_v, etc.).
