Geometry Manipulation Protocol
The Geometry Manipulation Protocol (GMP) is a library which serializes datatypes
between XML and ANSI C data structures to support CFD applications. This
library currently provides a description of geometric configurations, general
moving-body scenarios (prescribed and/or 6-DOF), and control surface
settings. A detailed description is available in AIAA Paper
2003-1237.
GMP can be downloaded from the NASA Ames Open
Source website.
GMP provides a common structure and description for developing CFD
applications, from pre- through post-processing, and greatly enhances
the ability to automate the CFD solution process. The same input
files can be used across applications, and among different code suites
which support the protocol. GMP is currently used in the OVERFLOW, OVERGRID,
Cart3D, and
HPC Institute for Advanced Rotorcraft Modeling and Simulation
(HI-ARMS) packages.
