This file contains the output responses for the nozzle model given the inputs specified by the the input file, and the problem and baseline parameters specified in the config file. The output functions (thrust, mass, etc.) and output filename are specified in the config file using the OUTPUT_FUNCTIONS and OUTPUT_NAME keywords, respectively. The format of the output file is specified by OUTPUT_FORMAT and can be PLAIN or DAKOTA. For example:

OUTPUT_FUNCTIONS= (MASS, THRUST, LOAD_LAYER_INSIDE_PN_FAILURE_CRITERIA)
OUTPUT_NAME= output.dat
OUTPUT_FORMAT= DAKOTA

When a response for a variable field is specified to be output for certain points (for example PRESSURE or VELOCITY), values corresponding to the pressure in the order of each specified point will be output in the output file. Velocity components are output for each point in the following order: x, y, and then z.
