monitor mass flow convergence in reports about cape HOT 5 CLOSED

Yes! We've done precisely this in the past, so I just need to look into how that works and if there are any code updates needed.

You might be able to make a subfigure of the usual type ("PlotCoeff") and just set the "Coefficient" to "mdot". This appears that it would work, but it might get tripped up in the cape.cfdx.report code.

Unfortunately I don't have a good test case at the ready just now, so I'm suggesting that you try it out before I can verify it.

that did the trick! are all variables in the *.dat available using this method?

Many of them are, but not necessarily all... You can get the viscous/pressure breakout terms like "C_M_zp", which gets renamed "CLNp", and you can get the lift and drag coefficients as "CL" or "CD" if available.

I think I'll take it as a feature request to add any other column that's not in my list by just replacing spaces with _. The code in cape.pyfun.dataBook that deals with this looks amazingly easy to improve.

thanks this is very helpful! I had asked a question previously regarding having "CL" and "CD" in databooks for creating carpet plots, will this work for other types of Subfigures such as "SweepCoeff"?
