RemarksIn some cases additional geometric components need to be linked to a CPACS, but these components are not yet handled by CPACS explicitly. For example, a belly fairing and/or external tanks.
A generic geometric component may be applied to include such a geometry from an external file (preferably STEP) in the context of the overall aircraft.
