Instance Methods

[hide private]

__init__(self, name='Wind turbine') source code

_update_reference_frames(self)
The reference frames for unsteady calculations are updated according to the user values.

source code

add_on_simulation(self, simu)
Add the wind turbine objects add all its components, reference frames, nodes and elements on the simulation.

source code

collect_parameters(self)
Store the wind turbine parameters in a dictionary

source code

create(self)
Init the coupling between MBDyn and the unsteady BEM code.

source code

init_results(self)
Suppose to initialize all the wind turbine object results.

Method Details

[hide private]

init(self, name=`'Wind turbine'`)
(Constructor)

source code

Overrides: common.BasicObject.__init__

add_on_simulation(self, simu)

source code

Add the wind turbine objects add all its components, reference frames, nodes and elements on the simulation. Each method will scan the refs, nodes and elts list attributes.

collect_parameters(self)

source code

Store the wind turbine parameters in a dictionary

Overrides: mbdyn.record.RecordBase.collect_parameters

create(self)

source code

Init the coupling between MBDyn and the unsteady BEM code. MBDyn objects are created by being attributes of wind turbine components. According to their type, they are stored in refs, nodes or elts. Until now, this method is in development and is supposed to be defined by a specific model. The reference frames, nodes and elements defined will then be added on the simulation.

init_results(self)

source code

Suppose to initialize all the wind turbine object results. Until now, results are only collected on the rotor.

Overrides: mbdyn.record.Record.init_results

set_parameters(self, para)

source code

Set the wind turbine parameters from the para dictionary

Overrides: mbdyn.record.RecordBase.set_parameters

update(self)

source code

Supposed to udpate some of the wind turbine parameters according to the MBDyn new state. For the same reason as create, this method is in development and this is the model that is supposed to supply that method.

update_data(self)

source code

Update the attributes stored on the wind turbine on all the objects that belong to it. For example the wing angle information, set on the rotor, is now transmitted to the blades. The reference frames used for the unsteady calculation are also updated in case MBDyn is not used.
