Notes

The control_surface_deflection setting allows the user to use a time specific control surface deflection, should the problem include them. This setting takes a list of strings, each for the required control surface generator.

The control_surface_deflection_generator_settings setting is a list of dictionaries, one for each control surface. The dictionaries specify the settings for the generator DynamicControlSurface. If the relevant control surface is simply static, an empty string should be parsed. See the documentation for DynamicControlSurface generators for accepted key-value pairs as settings.

The settings that this solver accepts are given by a dictionary, with the following key-value pairs:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`unsteady`	`bool`	Unsteady effects	`False`
`aligned_grid`	`bool`	Align grid	`True`
`freestream_dir`	`list(float)`	Free stream flow direction	`[1.0, 0.0, 0.0]`
`mstar`	`int`	Number of chordwise wake panels	`10`
`control_surface_deflection`	`list(str)`	List of control surface generators for each control surface	`[]`
`control_surface_deflection_generator_settings`	`list(dict)`	List of dictionaries with the settings for each generator	`[]`
