CUPPING_LE_OFFSET

CUPPING_LE_OFFSET[2-10]

See "Calculations"

This keyword must be set for the FULL_CC and FULL_CV calculation methods. It controls how far away the leading point is from the leading edge. You can create 1 to 10 cupping keywords.

For this keyword, a circle is drawn around the leading tip, with the radius equal to the offset. This tip-arc intersects the MCL, which creates an MCL point. Then a line is drawn perpendicularly to the MCL at that point to intersect the concave or convex side (depending on the method).

Positive Real

CUPPING_TE_OFFSET

CUPPING_TE_OFFSET[2-10]

See "Calculations"

This keyword must be set for the FULL_CC, FULL_CV,  TE_CC, and TE_CV calculation methods. It controls how far away the trailing point is from the trailing edge. You can create 1 to 10 cupping keywords.

Full_CC and Full_CV

For this keyword, a circle is drawn around the trailing tip, with the radius equal to the offset. This tip-arc intersects the MCL, which creates an MCL point. Then a line is drawn perpendicularly to the MCL at that point to intersect the concave or convex side (depending on the method).

TE_CC and TE_CV

For this keyword, there are three radii around the trailing tip, each of which intersect the MCL. Then, three line segments intersect the concave or convex side (depending on the method).

Positive Real

CUPPING_TE_OFFSET_B

CUPPING_TE_OFFSET[2-10]_B

See "Calculations"

This keyword must be set for the TE_CC and TE_CV calculation methods. It controls how far away the trailing point is from the trailing edge. You can create 1 to 10 cupping keywords.

For this keyword, there are three radii around the trailing tip, each of which intersect the MCL. Then, three line segments intersect the concave or convex side (depending on the method).

Positive Real

CUPPING_TE_OFFSET_C

CUPPING_TE_OFFSET[2-10]_C

See "Calculations"

This keyword must be set for the TE_CC and TE_CV calculation methods. It controls how far away the trailing point is from the trailing edge. You can create 1 to 10 cupping keywords.

For this keyword, there are three radii around the trailing tip, each of which intersect the MCL. Then, three line segments intersect the concave or convex side (depending on the method).

Positive Real
