Method Details

get_radius_at(self, aero_height)

Return the tower radius from a height position. User using a tower model different from a cylinder will have to override that method by defining their own tower.

set_aero_height(self, aero_height)

Set the height of the tower for aerodynamic calculations. The nacelle is in that case seen as a point

set_correction_height(self, height)

Set a height for the tower shadow correction. Currently not used because the correction is in development

get_abs_vector(self)

Return the tower vector in the absolute reference frame. This is direct in that case.
