GENPIPE Version 1.0

Authors: William M. Chan

Description:

This program is used to generate a constant diameter pipe surface grid given the centerline curve of the pipe in 3-D. An input seed point on the pipe surface at the first inflow station is used to define the radius of the pipe.

Usage:

  genpipe [-i IFILE] [-o OFILE] [-n NCIRC] [-spt XP YP ZP]

  genpipe -help  (to get usage)

Argument	Description
IFILE	input centerline curve filename in PLOT3D format (jmax x 1 x 1) (default = cline.dat)
OFILE	output pipe surface grid filename in PLOT3D format (default = pipe.sur)
NCIRC	number of points in circumferential direction
XP YP ZP	x, y, z coordinates of seed point on surface of pipe at j=1 station
