Submodules

wingstructure.data.geometry module

Geometry Module

Contains classes for storing plane geometry

class wingstructure.data.geometry.Airfoil(coords: numpy.array)

Bases: object

A storage class for Airfoil Coordinates

interpolate(airfoil, beta)

interpolation with other airfoil

Parameters:
  • airfoil (Airfoil) – another airfoil
  • beta (float) – interpolation weighting factor
Returns:

interpolated airfoil
Return type:

Airfoil
plot(*args)

show airfoil with matplotlib

Parameters: args

Arguments passed to matplotlib.pyplot.plot function
class wingstructure.data.geometry.ControlSurface(span_start, span_end, chord)

Bases: object

Data object for flap definition

Instances of the class store the span position (start and end) and the chord position of a control surface. The chord position is defined relative to the chord length (0.0-1.0) and can either be constant or linear.

Examples

>>> constantflap = ws.ControlSurface(4.5, 6.5, 0.8)
>>> linearflap = ws.ControlSurface(4.5, 6.5, [0.8, 0.75])
chordpos_at(span_pos: float)

interpolate chord position

class wingstructure.data.geometry.Point(x, y, z)

Bases: tuple

x

Alias for field number 0

y

Alias for field number 1

z

Alias for field number 2

class wingstructure.data.geometry.Section(pos: wingstructure.data.geometry.Point, chord: float, twist: float = 0.0, airfoil: str = '')

Bases: object

A storage class for wing sections

x
y
z
class wingstructure.data.geometry.Wing(pos: wingstructure.data.geometry.Point = Point(x=0, y=0, z=0), rot: wingstructure.data.geometry.Point = Point(x=0, y=0, z=0))

Bases: wingstructure.data.geometry._BaseWing

Storage class for Wing definition

Instances of the Wing class can be used to store geometry information for wing elements. Many useful functions are available as well through it’s objects.

classmethod create_from_dict(adict)

build _BaseWing from dictionary definition

get_flap_depth(span_pos: float) → float
is_airbrake_pos(span_pos: float) → bool
plot()
set_airbrake(span_pos_start, span_pos_end)
set_flap(name, span_pos_start, span_pos_end, depth)
set_spoiler(span_pos_start, span_pos_end)
within_flap(flapname: str, ys: numpy.ndarray) → numpy.ndarray

wingstructure.data.schema module

wingstructure.data.schema.clear(data)

helper function removing metadata

wingstructure.data.schema.loaddata(filename: str)

opens file and trys reading construction data

Parameters:filename (str) – file containing construction data
Returns:read data
Return type:OrderedDict
