0. General overview

This type can contain a complete set of aerodynamic force- and moment coefficients for a wing strip. It also includes the local reference values belonging to the strip coefficients. All coefficients act 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 local reference area.

2. <cfy> (optional)

Force coefficient in (global, i.e. CPACS) y-direction, normalized with the local reference area.

3. <cfz> (optional)

Force coefficient in (global, i.e. CPACS) z-direction, normalized with the local reference area.

4. <cmx> (optional)

Moment coefficient around the (global, i.e. CPACS) x-axis and the local reference point, normalized with the local reference area and reference length.

5. <cmy> (optional)

Moment coefficient around the (global, i.e. CPACS) y-axis and the local reference point, normalized with the local reference area and reference length.

6. <cmz> (optional)

Moment coefficient around the (global, i.e. CPACS) z-axis and the local reference point, normalized with the local reference area and reference length.

7. <reference> (mandatory)

Reference values for the strip's coefficients. Moment reference point is given in absolut CPACS coordinates, i.e. x,y,z.
