DynamicStability

Categories: Aerodynamics, Dynamic, Stability

State: :heavy_check_mark:

Inputs

Before hand, you need to use the PyAVL module and store enough data into ceasiompy.db to use this module.

Once you done that, you can: 1. Choose the different mach numbers for your stability analysis. 2. Choose the aircraft 3. If you haven’t computed any dot-derivatives ‘DynamicStability’ will use the Doublet Lattice Method in the frequency domain to compute those.

Analyses

  1. Computes unsteady derivatives through the Doublet Lattice Method (PanelAero).
  2. Opens SDSA with all the necessary computed aerodynamic coefficients.

Outputs

Outputs SDSA_Input.xml, which is given as input to SDSA.

Installation or requirements

Following the automatic installation procedure on the CEASIOMpy installation page should install DynamicStability automatically along with the other tools.

Not implemented

  1. Landing gear configuration
  2. Collision points

Limitations

  1. Depends on SDSA software.
  2. Altitude fixed at 1000 meters.
  3. Pilot Eye is by default the tip of fuselage.
