*PARA AERODYN |

To request summary output of AeroDyn output where a Flexcom wind turbine analysis has been run in conjunction with the AeroDyn module.
Please note that this keyword is not yet available in the current version of Flexcom. This facility will be added in a future software upgrade.
Refer to AeroDyn Output Parameters for further information on this feature.
A block of lines as follows:
[TITLE=Title Name]
[SCALE=Scale Factor] [, UNITS=Unit]
[PLOT=Plot Option]
DATA1=AeroDyn Output Channel
The AeroDyn Output Channel must already be defined in the AeroDyn input file via the *OUTPUTS keyword. Title Name defaults to blank. Scale Factor defaults to 1. The Unit entry is described in Note (b). Plot Option can be YES or NO (the default).
Input: |
Description |
Output: |
The name of the AeroDyn output channel. See Note (a). |
Title: |
A descriptive title to be associated with the output. This entry is optional. |
Scale: |
A scale factor to apply to the data. This entry is optional, and defaults to a value of 1. |
Unit: |
The units to be used for the output. This entry is optional, and defaults to the base units for this output type. See Note (b). |
Plot: |
This option allows you to request a timetrace plot, in addition to the summary output. By default, no plot is created. |
(a)The output channel must already be defined in the AeroDyn input file, requested via the *OUTPUTS keyword. A full list of the AeroDyn output channels are presented in AeroDyn Output Parameters.
(b)The units entry explicitly specifies what units are to be assigned to the output. This entry is optional, and if omitted, Flexcom simply assigns suitable units depending on the base units for the particular output type. If you do explicitly specify a unit, then it must be consistent with the dimension of the output type. For example, angle can be specified in Radian, degree, etc. The program is quite flexible in terms of accepting unit descriptions – e.g. Radian, rad, etc. are all equally valid.
