fastga_he.models.propulsion.assemblers.power_rate module

class fastga_he.models.propulsion.assemblers.power_rate.PowerRate(**kwargs)

Bases: ExplicitComponent

To work with the current version of the mission vector, a mock-up interface is required to provide the computation of the thrust rate. Rather than giving a fake number a power rate will be computed based on the max shaft power during the mission and the shaft power at each point. This component will also be used to plug in the input provided by the mission that are not used by the power train performances computation.

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

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.
