DynamicControlSurface¶

class sharpy.generators.dynamiccontrolsurface.DynamicControlSurface[source]¶

Dynamic Control Surface deflection Generator

DynamicControlSurface class inherited from BaseGenerator

The object generates a deflection in radians based on the time series given as a vector in the input data

To call this generator, the generator_id = DynamicControlSurface shall be used. This is parsed as the value for the control_surface_deflection_generator key in the aerogridloader solver’s settings.

Parameters:

in_dict (dict) –

Input data in the form of dictionary. See acceptable entries below.

Name	Type	Description	Default
`dt`	`float`	Timestep for the simulation	`None`
`deflection_file`	`str`	Relative path to the file with the deflection information.	`None`

settings_types¶

Acceptable data types of the input data

Type:	dict

settings_default¶

Default values for input data should the user not provide them

Type:	dict

deflection¶

Array of deflection of the control surface

Type:	np.array

deflection_dot¶

Array of the time derivative of the cs deflection. Calculated using 1st order finite differences.

Type:	np.array
