surface_mesh

The surface mesh module (surface_mesh_mod) is contained in surface_mesh.f95. It contains the surface_mesh type and all its bound procedures.

The surface_mesh type is used to represent the surface of the configuration being modeled. It is initialized from a mesh file (VTK, STL, or .tri) but can be modified heavily thereafter within MachLine (e.g. cloning of vertices at wake-shedding edges, addition of edge midpoints, etc.). This type also stores the surface results calculated by the panel_solver type. It is called by main to export the results of the solver.
