class fastga_he.models.propulsion.components.tanks.fuel_tanks.components.sizing_tank_prep_for_loads.SizingFuelTankPreparationForLoads(**kwargs)[source]

Bases: ExplicitComponent

This components computes the values required for the computation of the influence of the fuel tanks on the fuselage and wing loads. For the wing: Will compute the y ratios for the start and end, slope is gonna be assumed to be one (as is done in the computation of dimensions) and the chord will be assumed at the mean chord (as is done in the computation of dimensions). For the fuselage: nothing for now. In any case, this component will only be added if the fuel tanks is inside the wing or in the fuselage. If the fuel tank is in a pod, it will be treated as a punctual mass !

Store some bound methods so we can detect runtime overrides.

initialize()[source]

Perform any one-time initialization run at instantiation.

setup()[source]

Declare inputs and outputs.

Available attributes:

name pathname comm options

compute(inputs, outputs, discrete_inputs=None, discrete_outputs=None)[source]

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)[source]

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.
