efficiency_local_aero2struct_forcesΒΆ

Maps the local aerodynamic forces at a given vertex to its corresponding structural node, introducing user-defined efficiency and constant value factors.

\[\begin{split}\mathbf{f}_{struct}^B &= \varepsilon^f_0 C^{BG}\mathbf{f}_{i,aero}^G + \varepsilon^f_1\\ \mathbf{m}_{struct}^B &= \varepsilon^m_0 (C^{BG}(\mathbf{m}_{i,aero}^G + \tilde{\boldsymbol{\zeta}}^G\mathbf{f}_{i, aero}^G)) + \varepsilon^m_1\end{split}\]
