StaticCoupled¶

class sharpy.solvers.staticcoupled.StaticCoupled[source]¶

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
`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`
