fastoad.models.propulsion.fuel_propulsion.rubber_engine.openmdao module

OpenMDAO wrapping of RubberEngine.

class fastoad.models.propulsion.fuel_propulsion.rubber_engine.openmdao.OMRubberEngineComponent(**kwargs)

Bases: fastoad.models.propulsion.propulsion.BaseOMPropulsionComponent

Parametric engine model as OpenMDAO component

See RubberEngine for more information.

Store some bound methods so we can detect runtime overrides.

Parameters

**kwargs (dict of keyword arguments) – Keyword arguments that will be mapped into the Component options.

static get_wrapper() → fastoad.models.propulsion.fuel_propulsion.rubber_engine.openmdao.OMRubberEngineWrapper

This method defines the used IOMPropulsionWrapper instance.

Returns

an instance of OpenMDAO wrapper for propulsion model

setup()

Will replace the original setup method.

class fastoad.models.propulsion.fuel_propulsion.rubber_engine.openmdao.OMRubberEngineWrapper

Bases: fastoad.models.propulsion.propulsion.IOMPropulsionWrapper

Wrapper class of for rubber engine model.

It is made to allow a direct call to RubberEngine in an OpenMDAO component.

Example of usage of this class:

import openmdao.api as om

class MyComponent(om.ExplicitComponent):
    def initialize():
        self._engine_wrapper = OMRubberEngineWrapper()

    def setup():
        # Adds OpenMDAO variables that define the engine
        self._engine_wrapper.setup(self)

        # Do the normal setup
        self.add_input("my_input")
        [finish the setup...]

    def compute(self, inputs, outputs, discrete_inputs=None, discrete_outputs=None):
        [do something]

        # Get the engine instance, with parameters defined from OpenMDAO inputs
        engine = self._engine_wrapper.get_model(inputs)

        # Run the engine model. This is a pure Python call. You have to define
        # its inputs before, and to use its outputs according to your needs
        sfc, thrust_rate, thrust = engine.compute_flight_points(
            mach,
            altitude,
            engine_setting,
            use_thrust_rate,
            thrust_rate,
            thrust
            )

        [do something else]

)

property DESCRIPTION

Retrieves the property value, from the iPOPO dictionaries

static get_model(inputs) → fastoad.models.propulsion.propulsion.IPropulsion

Parameters

inputs – input parameters that define the engine

Returns

an RubberEngine instance

setup(component: openmdao.core.component.Component)

Defines the needed OpenMDAO inputs for propulsion instantiation as done in get_model()

Use add_inputs and declare_partials methods of the provided component

Parameters

component –
