Basic Usage Overview

pyAVL offers a simple and intuitive API, mirroring AVL's text interface. The typical workflow involves loading a geometry file, adding constraints, and executing analysis runs.

Initializing and Setting up AVL Solver

To begin with pyAVL, start by initializing the AVLSolver class:

from pyavl import AVLSolver

avl_solver = AVLSolver(geo_file="aircraft.avl")

After initializing, you can set up various constraints and parameters:

avl_solver.add_constraint("alpha", 0.00)
avl_solver.add_constraint("Elevator", 0.00, con_var="Cm pitch moment")
avl_solver.add_constraint("Rudder", 0.00, con_var="Cn yaw moment")
avl_solver.set_case_parameter("Mach", 0.3)

Running Analysis

Once you've set up the solver, running the analysis is straightforward:

avl_solver.execute_run()

For a more detailed example and advanced use cases, see the analysis guide.
