RCAIDE.Library.Components.Component

Component

class Component(*args, **kwarg)

Bases: Data

Base class for all physical components in an aircraft configuration.

tag

Unique identifier for the component, defaults to ‘Component’

Type:

str

mass_properties

Mass and inertia properties, initialized empty

Type:

Mass_Properties

origin

3D coordinates [x, y, z] defining component’s reference point, defaults to [0.0, 0.0, 0.0]

Type:

ndarray

Notes

The Component class serves as the foundation for all physical parts in RCAIDE. It provides:

• Basic geometric positioning

• Mass properties tracking

• Container functionality for sub-components

RCAIDE.Framework.Core.Data

Parent class providing data structure functionality

class Container(*args, **kwarg)

Bases: Container

Container class for managing collections of components.

Notes

The Container class provides organization and mass calculation functionality for groups of components. Key features include:

• Recursive mass summation

• Moment calculation about reference points

• Component hierarchy management
