StaticCoupled

class sharpy.solvers.staticcoupled.StaticCoupled

This class is the main FSI driver for static simulations. It requires a structural_solver and a aero_solver to be defined.

The settings that this solver accepts are given by a dictionary, with the following key-value pairs:

Name	Type	Description	Default	Options
print_info	bool	Write status to screen	True
structural_solver	str	Structural solver to use in the coupled simulation	None
structural_solver_settings	dict	Dictionary of settings for the structural solver	None
aero_solver	str	Aerodynamic solver to use in the coupled simulation	None
aero_solver_settings	dict	Dictionary of settings for the aerodynamic solver	None
max_iter	int	Max iterations in the FSI loop	100
n_load_steps	int	Length of ramp for forces and gravity during FSI iteration	0
tolerance	float	Convergence threshold for the FSI loop	1e-05
relaxation_factor	float	Relaxation parameter in the FSI iteration. 0 is no relaxation and -> 1 is very relaxed	0.0
correct_forces_method	str	Function used to correct aerodynamic forces. See sharpy.generators.polaraeroforces		EfficiencyCorrection, PolarCorrection
correct_forces_settings	dict	Settings for corrected forces evaluation	{}
runtime_generators	dict	The dictionary keys are the runtime generators to be used. The dictionary values are dictionaries with the settings needed by each generator.	{}
nonlifting_body_interactions	bool	Consider forces induced by nonlifting bodies	False
