fastoad.models.aerodynamics.external.xfoil.xfoil_polar module

This module launches XFOIL computations

class fastoad.models.aerodynamics.external.xfoil.xfoil_polar.XfoilPolar(**kwargs)[source]

Bases: openmdao.components.external_code_comp.ExternalCodeComp

Runs a polar computation with XFOIL and returns the 2D max lift coefficient

Intialize the ExternalCodeComp component.

Parameters

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

initialize()[source]

Perform any one-time initialization run at instantiation.

setup()[source]

Declare inputs and outputs.

Available attributes:

name pathname comm options

compute(inputs, outputs)[source]

Run this component.

User should call this method from their overriden compute method.

Parameters

  • inputs (Vector) – Unscaled, dimensional input variables read via inputs[key].

  • outputs (Vector) – Unscaled, dimensional output variables read via outputs[key].
