init(self, name=`'nrel turbine'`, use_beams=True, only_mbdyn_rotor=False)
(Constructor)

source code

Overrides: main.WindTurbine.__init__

_create_only_rotor(self)

source code

Create only the rotor with MBDyn components. The main bearing fix node is clamped, only the tower and nacelle referentials are created. A very useful function to test only the rotor or develop the nacelle and tower deformations step by step.

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.

Overrides: main.WindTurbine.create: (inherited documentation)
