fastga.models.aerodynamics.components.compute_cm_pitch_rate module

class fastga.models.aerodynamics.components.compute_cm_pitch_rate.ComputeCMPitchVelocityAircraft(**kwargs)

Bases: openmdao.core.group.Group

Computation of the increase in pitch moment due to a a pitch velocity. Assumes the coefficient at aircraft level can be obtained by summing the contribution of the individual components. The convention from [Ros85b] are used, meaning that, for the derivative with respect to a pitch rate, this rate is made dimensionless by multiplying it by the MAC and dividing it by 2 times the airspeed.

Based on [Ros85b] section 10.2.7

Set the solvers to nonlinear and linear block Gauss–Seidel by default.

initialize()

Perform any one-time initialization run at instantiation.

setup()

Build this group.

This method should be overidden by your Group’s method. The reason for using this method to add subsystem is to save memory and setup time when using your Group while running under MPI. This avoids the creation of systems that will not be used in the current process.

You may call ‘add_subsystem’ to add systems to this group. You may also issue connections, and set the linear and nonlinear solvers for this group level. You cannot safely change anything on children systems; use the ‘configure’ method instead.
