fastga_he.models.performances.energy_specific_air_range module

class fastga_he.models.performances.energy_specific_air_range.EnergySpecificAirRange(**kwargs)

Bases: ExplicitComponent

Component that computes the Energy Specific Air Range (ESAR) which is the distance that can be travelled with one unit of energy.

Store some bound methods so we can detect runtime overrides.

initialize()

Perform any one-time initialization run at instantiation.

setup()

Declare inputs and outputs.

Available attributes:

name pathname comm options

setup_partials()

Declare partials.

This is meant to be overridden by component classes. All partials should be declared here since this is called after all size/shape information is known for all variables.

compute(inputs, outputs, discrete_inputs=None, discrete_outputs=None)

Compute outputs given inputs. The model is assumed to be in an unscaled state.

An inherited component may choose to either override this function or to define a compute_primal function.

Parameters:

• inputs (Vector) – Unscaled, dimensional input variables read via inputs[key].

• outputs (Vector) – Unscaled, dimensional output variables read via outputs[key].

• discrete_inputs (dict-like or None) – If not None, dict-like object containing discrete input values.

• discrete_outputs (dict-like or None) – If not None, dict-like object containing discrete output values.

compute_partials(inputs, partials, discrete_inputs=None)

Compute sub-jacobian parts. The model is assumed to be in an unscaled state.

Parameters:

• inputs (Vector) – Unscaled, dimensional input variables read via inputs[key].

• partials (Jacobian) – Sub-jac components written to partials[output_name, input_name]..

• discrete_inputs (dict or None) – If not None, dict containing discrete input values.
