Sample cases making use of the internal API can be found under [cases](https://gitlab.uliege.be/am-dept/dartflo/blob/master/dart/cases).

|
|
|
**1. Defining the parameters**
|
|
|
|
In practise, all the internal APIs use the [Core API](use_api_core) to initialize DART using a dictionary of parameters. Some additional parameters need to be defined and are listed hereunder.
|
|
|
|
Additional common parameters:
|
|
|
|
In practise, all the internal APIs use the [Core API](use_api_core) to initialize DART using a dictionary of parameters. Additional configuration dicts must be provided and are listed hereunder.
|
|
|
|
Additional dict for post-processing:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
|
|
# Post-pro
|
|
|
|
cfg['Slice'] = list of float # y-coordinates of cutting planes to extract slices on the geometry (optional, will only work with VTK)
|
|
|
|
cfg['TagId'] = int # id of physical group to be sliced (id can be obtained through gmsh)
|
|
|
|
post_cfg = {
|
|
|
|
'cut_tag': int # id of physical group to be sliced (can be obtained through Gmsh)
|
|
|
|
'y_slices': list(float) # y-coordinates of cutting planes to extract slices on the geometry (will only work if output format is VTK)
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```

|
Additional parameters specific to Polar class:
|
|
|
|
Additional dict for polar calculation:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
|
|
cfg['AoA_begin'] = float # first value of the angle of attack [degrees]
|
|
|
|
cfg['AoA_end'] = float # last value of the angle of attack [degrees]
|
|
|
|
cfg['AoA_step'] = float # step in the angle of attack [degrees]
|
|
|
|
polar_cfg = {
|
|
|
|
'aoas': list(float) # list of angles of attack [deg] (optional, default=[0])
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```

Additional parameters specific to Trim class:

cfg['CL'] = float # target lift coefficient

cfg['AoA'] = float # guess (first) angle of attack

|
|
|

}
|
|

|
```
|

**2. Using the solver**
|
|
|
|
After the parameters have been defined, the solver can be set up automatically by instantiating the object as,
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
|
|
import dart.api.internal.polar as pol
|
|
|
|
polar = pol.Polar(cfg)
|
|
|
|
polar = pol.Polar(cfg, polar_cfg, post_cfg=None)
|
|
|
|
# or
|
|
|
|
import dart.api.internal.trim as trm
|
|
|
|
trim = trm.Trim(cfg)
|
|
|
|
trim = trm.Trim(cfg, trim_cfg, post_cfg=None)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The script can then be run by calling,
|
|
|

```python
