fastga.models.aerodynamics.aerodynamics_stability_derivatives module

class fastga.models.aerodynamics.aerodynamics_stability_derivatives.AerodynamicsStabilityDerivatives(**kwargs)

Bases: openmdao.core.group.Group

Computes the aircraft aerodynamic derivatives that are not used for the sizing of the aircraft in cruise or low speed conditions or both depending of the user choice. It is meant to provide the aerodynamic derivatives necessary for the study of the stability of the aircraft. Can be run outside of the sizing loop for some time gain.

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.
