Method Details [hide private]

__init__(self, name='mbdyn simu', title='Mbdyn used from Python', keep=False, overwrite=False, mbdyn_coupling=True)
(Constructor)

source code 
Overrides: AerodynamicsSimulation.__init__

init_unsteady(self)

source code 
Init the unsteady BEM code by running it for the 'init_time'
Overrides: AerodynamicsSimulation.init_unsteady

init(self)

source code 
Initialize the simulation according to WraptMBDyn. The Python object get references to the object from the bindings module, interfacing the C++ ones. This method is called by the run_full method of the SimulationBase. It also overwrites the init of the SimulationBase.
Overrides: mbdyn.main.Simulation.init

_init_coupling(self)

source code 
Init the unsteady code and stabilize the aerodynamics loads. Then create the wind turbine with MBDyn objects, that take into account the ones from the unsteady BEM code. Then run the MBDyn simulation, first init will be called. Then save and update are called at each MBDyn time step.

_init_wind_simulation(self)

source code 
The Python objects are getting a reference of the C++ ones. The results are also initialized.

run(self)

source code 
Run the full simulation
Overrides: mbdyn.main.Simulation.run

update(self)

source code 
Update the wind turbine simulation. Called by the run_full() method at each MBDyn iteration. This method is doing the coupling between MBDyn and the unsteady BEM code. First the state of the wind turbine is updated according to the MBDyn objects that are attached to it. Then the unsteady BEM code is run from this new configuration. Finally the MBDyn elements are updated.
Overrides: mbdyn.main.Simulation.update

save_unsteady_state_at(self, time)

source code 
Save the unsteady state at a particular time. This function is used only when mbdyn_coupling is set to False. Else the time is saved from the MBDyn simulation.
Overrides: AerodynamicsSimulation.save_unsteady_state_at

save(self)

source code 
The save method called by WraptMBDyn. This method is called before update, because the values are saved just after a successful time step. save_mbdyn will also save the simulation status (by calling the save_results method.
Overrides: mbdyn.main.Simulation.save

collect_parameters(self)

source code 
Collect the simulation parameters into a dictionary
Overrides: mbdyn.main.Simulation.collect_parameters

set_parameters(self, para)

source code 
Set the simulation parameters from the para dictionary
Overrides: mbdyn.main.Simulation.set_parameters
