input1.txt

# This is an input file for pyTurbine.py
# HOW TO USE:
# - Each line starting with a hash symbol is treated as a comment and ignored
# - Each empty line is also ignored
# - Individual variables are defined by a non-numeric set of characters proceeded with an equal sign, "="
#	(it's OK to put spaces or tabs between the variable name or value and the equal sign)
# - Data arrays are defined with the keyword "data" proceeded with a keyword "variables" in two subsequent
#	lines (it's OK to put empty lines or comments between them); name of the array must be placed
#	after an equal sign ("=") proceeding the keyword "data"
# - In order to work, the program requires:
#		variables: diameter, Nblades
#		arrays: blade, conditions, aero
# - The file should be placed in the same directory as pyTurbine.py or the path in the Python script
#	should be modified accordingly (see the inputFilename variable)
