Suggestion on best practice needed - use airfoil shape parameters / coordinates from external file
Hi all,
I have read about this issue a lot, but could not find a clear solution on any forum. I am hoping someone could help/ direct me to a solution.
For simple example case "naca12BL" ( gmsh 2D benchmark) - I would like to define this shape parametrically (for optimization). Ideally, its always better to store coordinates in separate file and read in main script ("*.GEO" script).
Looks like file read utility is not available in gmsh. Writing (modifying) actual coordinates for each iteration in GEO script would be tedious and non-ideal approach.
Can anyone suggestion a work-around/solution please?
Thank you
