ControlSurfacePidController¶
The settings that this solver accepts are given by a dictionary, with the following key-value pairs:
Name Type Description Default time_history_input_file
str
Route and file name of the time history of desired state None
P
float
Proportional gain of the controller None
I
float
Integral gain of the controller 0.0
D
float
Differential gain of the controller 0.0
input_type
str
Quantity used to define the reference state. Supported: pitch None
dt
float
Time step of the simulation None
controlled_surfaces
list(int)
Control surface indices to be actuated by this controller None
controlled_surfaces_coeff
list(float)
Control surface deflection coefficients. For example, for antisymmetric deflections => [1, -1]. [1.0]
write_controller_log
bool
Write a time history of input, required input, and control True
controller_log_route
str
Directory where the log will be stored ./output/
Main routine of the controller. Input is data (the self.data in the solver), and currrent_state which is a dictionary with [‘structural’, ‘aero’] time steps for the current iteration.
Parameters: - data – problem data containing all the information.
- controlled_state – dict with two vars: structural and aero containing the timestep_info that will be returned with the control variables.
Returns: A dict with structural and aero time steps and control input included.
