PANUKL Help - ITLiMS

Function Description
Compute doublet
distribution
This command will run Panukl.exe, PANUKL application
component. User will be asked to point input grid with wake
file (*.dat). Based on input file the output *.pan, file will be
created.
The *.pan file contains computed results for velocity potential
distribution for analyzed body.
Option No. 1 – we do have saved on disk configuration file *.par, Fig. 32
Run Compute doublet distribution and select saved configuration file *.par – file contains all
necessary information to create *.pan file. To open selected *.par file click OPEN button.
Configuration window will appear (Fig. 33) where one can see saved *.pan file creation options. To
generate *.pan file click Save and Compute (ok) button.
Option No. 2 – we do not have saved on disk configuration file *.par, Fig. 32
Run Compute doublet distribution and click CANCEL button when prompted for saved configuration
file *.par. The configuration window will appear (Fig. 33) where user can select options to create
*.pan file. To save current *.pan options to *.par file click Save [*.par] file as, to create *.pan file
click Save and Compute (ok) button.
Panukl.exe computes influence factors and solves system of equations. As a result we get velocity
potential distribution. It is the most time and CPU consuming process. The computations can last
long . Computation time rises to the third power with generated grid panels.
