RCAIDE.Library.Methods.Powertrain.Systems.append_payload_conditions

append_payload_conditions

append_payload_conditions(payload, segment, bus)

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

Parameters:

• payload (Payload) – The payload component for which conditions are being initialized.

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

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

Returns:

This function modifies the segment.state.conditions.energy dictionary in-place.

Return type:

None

Notes

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

The payload 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 payload power requirements.
