append_electric_rotor_conditions#

append_electric_rotor_conditions(propulsor, segment, energy_conditions, noise_conditions)[source]#

Appends data structures arrays for storing electric rotor conditions.

Parameters:

  • propulsor (RCAIDE.Library.Components.Propulsors.Electric_Rotor) –

    Electric rotor propulsor component with the following attributes:
    • tagstr

      Identifier for the propulsor

    • itemsdict

      Dictionary of subcomponents

  • segment (RCAIDE.Framework.Mission.Segments.Segment) –

    Mission segment with the following attributes:
    • stateData

      Segment state - ones_row : function

      Function to create array of ones with specified length

  • energy_conditions (RCAIDE.Framework.Mission.Common.Conditions) – Energy conditions container where electric rotor conditions will be stored

  • noise_conditions (RCAIDE.Framework.Mission.Common.Conditions) – Noise conditions container where electric rotor noise conditions will be stored

Returns:

Results are stored in energy_conditions.propulsors[propulsor.tag] and noise_conditions.propulsors[propulsor.tag]

Return type:

None

Notes

This function initializes the necessary data structures for storing electric rotor operating conditions during a mission segment. It creates zero-filled arrays for various performance parameters and recursively calls the append_operating_conditions method for each subcomponent of the electric rotor propulsor.

The function initializes the following parameters in energy_conditions:

  • throttle

  • commanded_thrust_vector_angle

  • thrust

  • power

  • moment

It also creates a noise conditions container for the electric rotor.
