cape.pyfun.options.Mesh: FUN3D Meshing Options

This module provides options for surface and volume meshes in FUN3D. This consists of three parts, although the second or third option (but never both) may be optional depending of the configuration

  • Provides the name of the FUN3D .mapbc file using the option BCFile. This specifies the FUN3D boundary condition for each surface component

  • Specifies the name of a volume mesh, MeshFile (which can also be grown from the surface using AFLR3)

  • Specifies a surface triangulation either for creating a volume mesh with AFLR3 and/or providing a surface for thrust BC definitions

The FUN3D version also provides options for Faux and Freeze (or point to an external one) in combination with mesh adaptation.
