AESYMXZ

I/O Options and Subcase Information Entry Aerodynamic XZ plane of symmetry flag. The AESYMXZ command can be used in the case control section to support symmetric models about the centerline.

Format

AESYMXZ = option

Definitions

Argument Options Description
option <SYMMETRIC, ANTISYMMETRIC, ASYMMETRIC>

Default: See Comments
SYMMETRIC
Indicates that the aerodynamic model is moving in a symmetric manner with respect to the XZ plane.
ANTISYMMETRIC
Indicates that a half-span aerodynamic model is moving in an antisymmetric manner with respect to the XZ plane.
ASYMMETRIC
Indicates that a full aerodynamic model is provided.

Comments

  1. If AESYMXZ is not present in case control, aerodynamic XZ symmetry will be determined from the SYMXZ field of the AEROS Bulk Data Entry for static aeroelastic analysis.
  2. If AESYMXZ is present above the subcase level, it is applied to all subcases until overridden.
