Global Block

The Global block contains settings for coupling the X, Y, and Z direction force computations and the X, Y, Z direction moment computations. This block is mandatory.

Parameter	Type	Units	Description
EPSILON	Real	No-units	Unused at present. Ignore when reading file.
COUPLING	String	No-units	Valid choices are: UNCOUPLED -> X, Y, and Z forces computed independently. CYLINDRICAL -> X and Y forces are coupled. SPHERICAL -> X, Y, and Z forces are coupled.

The following is an example of a Global block:
