PAERO1

Bulk Data Entry Defines properties for lifting panels (CAERO1 panels) and also identifies the slender bodies (CAERO2 panels) associated/interacting with the lifting panels. This is used for Vortex Lattice Method (VLM) and Doublet Lattice Method (DLM) in subsonic aeroelastic analysis.

Definitions

Field	Contents	SI Unit Example
PID	Property identification number. This is to be referenced by a CAERO1 Bulk Data Entry. No default (Integer > 0)
Bi	Identification number of CAERO2 entries for associated slender bodies. Embedded blanks are not allowed. Default = blank (Integer ≥ 0)

Comments

1. The associated slender bodies must be in the same aerodynamic group, as specified in the IGID field on CAERO2 entry.
2. If there are no bodies, the entry is still required but with Bi fields left blank.
3. The Bi numbers above must appear on a CAERO2 entry to define these bodies completely.
4. There can be six associated bodies at maximum for each CAERO1 macro panel.
5. CAERO1 (lifting panels) and CAERO2 (slender bodies) interact aerodynamically only if their IGID fields match and the PAERO1 entry references the corresponding CAERO2 entry via the Bi field. If a slender body is not expect to aerodynamically interact with a CAERO1 panel (for instance, the slender body is located too far away from the corresponding CAERO1 lifting surface), in the PAERO1 entry the slender body CAERO2 ID should not be referenced so the aerodynamic interference between the panel and the body is ignored.
