append_avionics_conditions#

append_avionics_conditions(avionics, segment, bus)[source]#

Initializes and appends empty avionics conditions data structures to the segment state conditions.

Parameters:
  • avionics (Avionics) – The avionics component for which conditions are being initialized.

  • segment (Segment) – The mission segment in which the avionics is operating.

  • bus (ElectricalBus) – The electrical bus that powers the avionics system.

Return type:

None

Notes

This function creates an empty Conditions object for the avionics system within the segment’s energy conditions dictionary, indexed by the bus tag and avionics tag.

The avionics power consumption is initialized as a zero array with the same length as the segment’s state vector. This will be updated during mission analysis based on the avionics power requirements.
