DynamicControlSurface¶
Dynamic Control Surface deflection Generator
DynamicControlSurface
class inherited fromBaseGenerator
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 thecontrol_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
Acceptable data types of the input data
Type: dict
Default values for input data should the user not provide them
Type: dict
Array of deflection of the control surface
Type: np.array
Array of the time derivative of the cs deflection. Calculated using 1st order finite differences.
Type: np.array
