FIXED_CL - Fixed C_L computation

FIXED_CL cltarg [DALIM dalim] [RELAX rlxalph] [FREQENCY alfafreq] \ [HISTORY {ON|OFF}] [START [AT] istart]

This keyword may be used to vary the angle of attack to obtain a specified lift coefficient for surface(s) defined by the SURFACE and/or SUBSET keywords (with FORCE specified) in the LOADS keyword block. Note that the specified lift coefficient is the total for all surfaces combined.

	cltarg		The desired lift coefficient. The default is 0.0.
	dalim		Limit in the angle of attack change allowed each update (degrees). The default is 0.2 degrees.
	rlxalph		Relaxation parameter. The default is 1.0, for no relaxation.
	alfafreq		Update frequency, in cycles. The default is 1, to update every cycle.
	istart		Starting cycle. The default is 1, to start on the first cycle.

By default, the angle of attack changes are written to the .lis file. Specifying HISTORY OFF will prevent this.
