shape deformation parametrization in SU2

Mengmeng · October 6, 2014, 10:58

HI

I am new to SU2, I am working on the shape optimization, and got questions on the shape deformation parametrization variables defined in SU2 cfg files. the FFD and H-H functions are easy to understand, but not sure about the details on for example, "AIRFOIL", "DISPLACEMENT" etc. and how the optimization design variables defined according to this (DEFINTIOIN_DV)?

thanks
Mengmeng

Hi Mengmeng,
Unfortunately that part of our documentation is still in need of some love and work. The two best resources are (1) to follow the specifications in our config_template.cfg file in the repo and (2) to check out the different variable specifications that can all be found in the CSurfaceMovement class in grid_movement_structure.cpp.
Best,
- Trent
