                                   Rotor

Used to associate the aerodynamic elements. The rotor element is able to compute the induced velocity at an arbitrary point of the rotor disk. Finally this element is not currently used.

Instance Methods

[hide private]

__init__(self, name='rotor') source code

attach_to_node(self, node)
Not relevant in that case because two nodes are used: the craft and rotor nodes.

source code

set_craft_node(self, node, com=None)
Set the craft node of the rotor

source code

set_rotor_node(self, node, com=None)
Set the rotor node

source code

set_induced_velocity_model(self, keyword, com=None)
Set the induced velocity model: uniform, glauert or mangler

source code

set_reference_omega(self, value, com=None)
To decide whether to inhibit or not the induced velocity computation if the rotor speed is very low, in [rad/s]
