Subsurfaces

Introduction

Subsurfaces are lines, rectangles, or ellipses defined in the UW coordinates on an OpenVSP model surface. These features are honored by the CompGeom, CFD Mesh, and DegenGeom functions among others and may be used to model inlet/outlet boundary conditions, control surfaces, material properties, surface roughness, etc.
