pymead.analysis.calc_aero_data.run_mplot

run_mplot(name: str, base_dir: str, mplot_settings: dict, mode: str = 'forces', min_contour: float = 0.0, max_contour: float = 1.5, n_intervals: int = 0, multipoint_tag: str | None = None) → str

A Python wrapper for MPLOT

Parameters:

• name (str) – Name of the airfoil [system]

• base_dir (str) – MSES files will be stored in base_folder/name

• mplot_settings (dict or MPLOTSettings) – Flow parameter set (dictionary) or an instance of the MPLOTSettings class. If a dictionary is used, all the keys found in MPLOTSettings.get_dict_rep must be present.

• mode (str) – What type of data to output from MPLOT. Current choices are "forces", "Cp", "flowfield", "grid_zoom", "grid", "grid_stats", and "Mach contours". Default: "forces"

• min_contour (float) – Minimum contour level (only affects the result if mode=="Mach contours"). Default: 0.0

• max_contour (float) – Maximum contour level (only affects the result if mode=="Mach contours"). Default: 1.5

• n_intervals (int) – Number of contour levels (only affects the result if mode=="Mach contours"). A value of 0 results in MPLOT automatically setting a “nice” value for the number of contour levels. Default: 0

• multipoint_tag (str or None) – Whether to add a multipoint tag that modifies the name of certain MPLOT output files, including "field", "grid", and "mplot_grid_stats". Default: None

Returns:

A string containing the path to the MPLOT log file

Return type:

str
