airconics.base.
AirconicsBase
(*args, **kwargs)¶ Bases:
_abcoll.MutableMapping
,object
Base container class from which other base classes are derived from. This is a an abstract base class and should not be used directly by users.
Notes
When properly defined in inherited functions, this class should behave like a dictionary.
As this class inherits from MutableMapping, any class inherting from AirconicsBase must also define the abstract methods of Mutable mapping, i.e. __setitem__, __getitem__, __len__, __iter__, __delitem__

AirconicsCollection
(parts={}, construct_geometry=False, *args, **kwargs)¶ Bases:
airconics.base.AirconicsBase
Base class from which collections of parts defined by other Airconics classes will be stored.
AirconicsCollection represents a collection of ‘parts’ (i.e. AirconicsShapes’) which are logically grouped. For example, an aircraft comprised of multiple parts (engine, lifting surfaces, fuselage) all of which may contain sub ‘components’ and are therefore instances of AirconicsShapes’
Parameters: parts : dictionary
(name: part) pairs, where name is a string for accessing the part, and ‘part’ is an AirconicsShape derived class e.g. Fuselage, LiftingSurface or Engine instance
See also
Notes
- Derived classes should call the AirconicsCollection init with
- super(DerivedClass, self).__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
Attributes
_Parts (Airconics Container) Mapping of name(string):component(AirconicsShape) pairs. Note that this should not be interacted with directly, and instead users should use assignment or the AddPart method: :Example: >>> a = AirconicsCollection() >>> a[‘name’] = part >>> #OR: a.AddPart(‘name’, part) This also supports mapping of attributes to parts, i.e: :Example: >>> a[‘name’] == a._Parts.name # returns True Methods
AddPart
(part[, name])Adds a component to self Build
()Does nothing for AirconicsCollection. Display
(context[, material, color])Displays all Parts of the engine to input context Write

AddPart
(part, name=None)¶ Adds a component to self
Parameters: part : TopoDS_Shape
name : string
-
Build
()¶ Does nothing for AirconicsCollection.
This method allows AirconicsColection to be instantiated alone, as Build is called in the __init__. ‘Build’ Should be redefined by all derived classes.
Notes
- If Class.Build is not redefined in a derived class, confusion may
arise as no geometry will result from passing construct_geometry=True
-
Display
(context, material=<Mock id='140148706115280'>, color=None)¶ Displays all Parts of the engine to input context
Parameters: context : OCC.Display.OCCViewer.Viewer3d or WebRenderer
The display context - should have a Display or DisplayShape method
meterial : OCC.Graphic3d_NOM_* type
The material for display: note some renderers do not allow this
-
Write
(filename, single_export=True)¶ Writes the Parts contained in this instance to file specified by filename.
One file is produced, unless single_export is False when one file is written for each Part.
- filename : string
- the BASE.ext name of the file e.g. ‘airliner.stp’. Note the part name will be prepended to the base name of each output file
- single_export : bool
- returns a single output file if true, otherwise writes one file per part
Returns: status : list
The flattened list of error codes returned by writing each part

Notes
- Calls the .Write method belonging to each Part

class
airconics.base.
AirconicsShape
(components={}, construct_geometry=False, *args, **kwargs)¶ Bases:
airconics.base.AirconicsBase
Base class from which airconics parts will be made.
AirconicsShapes represent a ‘part’ of an aircraft e.g. the engine, which consists of a group of logically shape ‘components’ but with no relative or relational contact information: class methods are intended to manipulate the part as a whole.
This is intended as a base class, but can be used as a simple amorphic collection of shape components.
Example: >>> shape = Airconics() >>> shape['wing'] = wing # OR >>> shape.AddComponent(wing, 'WingSurface')
Parameters: components : dictionary of components to be added as attributes
To add attributes directly. Values must be OCC.TopoDS.TopoDS_Shape
construct_geometry : bool
If true, Build method will be called on construction. Defaults to False for AirconicsShape, as the Build method only prints. Derived classes should pass construct_geometry=True if a Build method should be called on construction
**kwargs : All other keyword arguments will be added as an attribute
to the resulting class calling super(subclass, self).__init__
See also
Notes
- Derived classes should call the AirconicsCollection init with
- super(DerivedClass, self).__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
Attributes
_Components (Airconics Container) Mapping of name(string):component(TopoDS_Shape) pairs. Note that this should not be interacted with directly, and instead users should use assignment or the AddComponent method: :Example: >>> a = AirconicsShape() >>> a[‘name’] = shape >>> #OR: a.AddComponent(‘name’, shape) This also supports mapping of attributes to parts, i.e: :Example: >>> a[‘name’] == a._Components.name # returns True Methods

-
Build
()¶ Does nothing for AirconicsShape.
This method allows AirconicsShape to be instantiated alone, as Build is called in the __init__. ‘Build’ Should be redefined by all derived classes
Notes
- If Class.Build is not redefined in a derived class, confusion may
arise as no geometry will result from passing construct_geometry=True
-

-
DisplayBBox
(display, single=True)¶ Displays the bounding box on input display.
Parameters: display : OCC.Display.OCCViewer.Viewer3d

Notes
Called on initialisation of a lifting surface class.
Example: >>> Wing = liftingsurface.LiftingSurface(P, mySweepAngleFunction, myDihedralFunction, myTwistFunction, myChordFunction, myAirfoilFunction) >>> Surface = Wing['Surface']

CalculateProjectedArea
()¶ Calculates the projected area of the current lifting surface
From Airconics documentation: In some cases the projected section cannot all be lofted in one go (it happens when parts of the wing fold back onto themselves), so we loft them section by section and compute the area as a sum.

airconics.base.AirconicsShape
A class for generating aircraft engine and pylon geometries.
Currently only yields a turbofan engine with nacelle similar to that of an RR Trent 1000 / GEnx. Shapes produced include the nacelle, spinner cone, tail cone, Fan disk, Bypass disk, and pylon symmetry plane. The nacelle is produced by inclining an inlet disk by its scarf angle about the span- wise (y) axis and uniformly spacing airfoil ‘ribs’ before lofting a surface through them.

Notes
May add options for other engine types
-
BuildTurbofanNacelle
()¶ The defaults yield a nacelle similar to that of an RR Trent 1000 / GEnx
#TODO: break this down into modular function calls
Topology¶
-
class
airconics.topology.
Topology
(parts={}, construct_geometry=False)¶ Bases:
airconics.base.AirconicsCollection
Class to define abstract aircraft topologies as extensible lists of lifting surfaces, enclosure, and propulsion type objects.
Parameters: parts - dictionary
- Should contain the following,
{name: (Part, arity)}
- i.e. the string ‘name’ values are presented as a tuple or list of:
- Part - TopoDS_Shape
The shape
- arity - int
the arity (number of descendant nodes) attached to part
A warning is raised if arities are not provided, in which case arity is assumed to be zero
Notes
- warning will be raised if no affinities are provided
- example:
- # (Wing is an airconics Lifting Surface instace): aircraft = Topology(parts={‘Wing’: (Wing[‘Surface’], 2)})
Although not enforced, parts should be added to this class recursively (from the top node first) to represent the aircraft’s flattened topological tree suggested by Sobester [1]. It is the users responsibility to ensure the input nodes are a valid lisp tree for a correct graph to result (no checks are currently performed)

AddPart
(part, name, arity=0)¶ Overloads the AddPart method of AirconicsCollection base class to append the arity of the input topology node
Parameters: part - LiftingSurface, Engine or Fuselage class instance
the part to be added to the tree
name - string
name of the part (will be used to look up this part in self.aircraft)
arity - int
The number of terminals attached to this part; this will be randomized at a later stage
Notes
This method is expected to be used recursively, therefore the order in which parts are added dictates the tree topology. The first item added will be the top of the tree.
See also: AirconicsCollection.AddPart
-
Build
()¶ Recursively builds all sub components in the current topology tree if self.construct_geometry is true. Will also mirror components if a mirror node has been added, regardless of if construct_geometry is true.
Uses the the Build method of all sub components. Any user defined classes must therefore define the Build method in order for this to work correctly.
-
MirrorSubtree
()¶ Mirrors the geometry where required, based on the current topology tree.
Does nothing is no mirror plane has been added
-
export_graphviz
()¶ Returns a string, Graphviz script for visualizing the topology tree.
Currently only set up to allow a single mirror terminal
Returns: output : string
The Graphviz script to plot the tree representation of the program.
Notes
This function is originally from GPLearns _Program class, but has been modified. Can be visualised with pydot,
Example: >>> topo = Topology() # Add some parts with topo.addPart >>> graph = pydot.graph_from_dot_data(topo.export_graphviz()) >>> Image(graph.create_png())
May add a dependency on GPLearn later and overload the appropriate class methods.
