Remarks0. General overview
This type can contain a complete set of aerodynamic force- and moment coefficients. All coefficients are given in the CPACS-Coordinate system. See the documentation for the global CPACS-Element for further information.
1. <cfx> (optional)
Force coefficient in (global, i.e. CPACS) x-direction, normalized with the global reference area.
2. <cfy> (optional)
Force coefficient in (global, i.e. CPACS) y-direction, normalized with the global reference area.
3. <cfz> (optional)
Force coefficient in (global, i.e. CPACS) z-direction, normalized with the global reference area.
4. <cmx> (optional)
Moment coefficient around the (global, i.e. CPACS) x-axis and the global reference point, normalized with the global reference area and reference length.
5. <cmy> (optional)
Moment coefficient around the (global, i.e. CPACS) y-axis and the global reference point, normalized with the global reference area and reference length.
6. <cmz> (optional)
Moment coefficient around the (global, i.e. CPACS) z-axis and the global reference point, normalized with the global reference area and reference length.
