For the description of the configuration variables, associated values, and available options refer to the template configuration file that is distributed with SU2. Note: The configuration file is dependent on the version of SU2 used. This configuration file that will be auto generated is compatible with SU2 4.1.1. (Cardinal), 5.0.0 (Raven), 6.2.0 (Falcon - Default)
- Proj_Name = "su2_CAPS"
This corresponds to the project "root" name.
- Mach = 0.8
Mach number; this corresponds to the MACH_NUMBER keyword in the configuration file.
- Re = 6.5E6
Reynolds number; this corresponds to the REYNOLDS_NUMBER keyword in the configuration file.
- Physical_Problem = "Euler"
Physical problem type; this corresponds to the PHYSICAL_PROBLEM keyword in the configuration file. Options: Euler, Navier_Stokes, Wave_Equation, ... see SU2 template for additional options.
- Equation_Type = "Compressible"
Equation regime type; this corresponds to the REGIME_TYPE keyword in the configuration file. Options: Compressible or Incompressible.
- Alpha = 0.0
Angle of attack [degree]; this corresponds to the AoA keyword in the configuration file.
- Beta = 0.0
Side slip angle [degree]; this corresponds to the SIDESLIP_ANGLE keyword in the configuration file.
- Overwrite_CFG = True

- Unit_System = "SI"
Measurement unit system; this corresponds to the SYSTEM_MEASUREMENTS keyword in the configuration file. See SU2 template for additional details.
- Reference_Dimensionalization = NULL
Reference dimensionalization; this corresponds to the REF_DIMENSIONALIZATION keyword in the configuration file. See SU2 template for additional details.
- Freestream_Pressure = NULL

- Freestream_Temperature = NULL
Freestream reference temperature; this corresponds to the FREESTREAM_TEMPERATURE keyword in the configuration file. See SU2 template for additional details.
- Freestream_Density = NULL
Freestream reference density; this corresponds to the FREESTREAM_DENSITY keyword in the configuration file. See SU2 template for additional details.
- Freestream_Velocity = NULL
Freestream reference velocity; this corresponds to the FREESTREAM_VELOCITY keyword in the configuration file. See SU2 template for additional details.
- Freestream_Viscosity = NULL
Freestream reference viscosity; this corresponds to the FREESTREAM_VISCOSITY keyword in the configuration file. See SU2 template for additional details.
- Moment_Center = NULL, [0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
Array values correspond to the x_moment_center, y_moment_center, and z_moment_center variables; which correspond to the REF_ORIGIN_MOMENT_X, REF_ORIGIN_MOMENT_Y, and REF_ORIGIN_MOMENT_Z variables respectively in the SU2 configuration script. Alternatively, the geometry (body) attributes "capsReferenceX", "capsReferenceY", and "capsReferenceZ" may be used to specify the x-, y-, and z- moment centers, respectively (note: values set through the AIM input will supersede the attribution values).
- Moment_Length = NULL, 1.0
Reference length for pitching, rolling, and yawing non-dimensional; which correspond to the REF_LENGTH_MOMENT. Alternatively, the geometry (body) attribute "capsReferenceSpan" may be used to specify the x-, y-, and z- moment lengths, respectively (note: values set through the AIM input will supersede the attribution values).
- Reference_Area = NULL
This sets the reference area for used in force and moment calculations; this corresponds to the REF_AREA keyword in the configuration file. Alternatively, the geometry (body) attribute "capsReferenceArea" maybe used to specify this variable (note: values set through the AIM input will supersede the attribution value).
- Pressure_Scale_Factor = 1.0
Value to scale Cp or Pressure data when transferring data. Data is scaled based on Pressure = Pressure_Scale_Factor*Cp + Pressure_Scale_Offset.
- Pressure_Scale_Offset = 0.0

- Surface_Monitor = NULL
Array of surface names where the non-dimensional coefficients are evaluated
- Surface_Deform = NULL
Array of surface names that should be deformed. Defaults to all invisid and viscous surfaces.
