About aerothermoelastic

I know su2 has the capacity of computing aeroelastic problem. But I want to know if su2 have the capacity of compute an aerothermoelastic problem ? That is I have the CSD and CTD codes of my own, I want to get the force and heat flow from su2 that had been interpolated on the FEM nodes and then send the displacement and wall tempture to su2 code. Thakns.

Thank you for your question.
At the moment this is not an automated feature included in su2 - you can use the surface_flow output files to obtain these values and interpolate them onto your structural mesh yourself.

Other developers and I are currently working on this type of feature; once completed it may be included with su2 python scripts in the future, however in the short term you will need to set up your own system for interpolation.

In terms of applying the deformation, you can use SU2_DEF, using the settings for an external file that contains the new surface geometry.
You will need to provide a file with the new surface.
The settings in the config file needed for this type of deformation are:
DV_KIND = SURFACE_FILE
MOTION_FILENAME = {new geometry file}
DV_MARKER = ( name(s) of boundaries included as the design variable)
MARKER_MOVING = (name(s) of moving boundaries)
There are several other settings controlling the deformation which are used in the optimization tutorials:

In terms of applying the temperature, the options are isothermal and adiabatic wall boundary conditions.
