Mechanical Source (Source)

Power variables

flux: Velocity \(v\) (m/s)

effort: Force \(f\) (N)

Arguments

label : str

Source label.

nodes : ('N1', 'N2')

Nodes associated with the component terminals with positive flux N1->N2.

parameters : keyword arguments

Component parameter.

Usage

sourc = Source('sourc', ('N1', 'N2'), type='force')

Netlist line

mechanics_dual.source sourc ('N1', 'N2'): type=force;

Example

>>> # Import dictionary
>>> from pyphs.dictionary import mechanics_dual
>>> # Define component label
>>> label = 'sourc'
>>> # Define component nodes
>>> nodes = ('N1', 'N2')
>>> # Define component parameters
>>> parameters = {'type': 'force',  # Source type in {'velocity', 'force'} (string)
...              }
>>> # Instanciate component
>>> component = mechanics_dual.Source(label, nodes, **parameters)
>>> # Graph dimensions
>>> len(component.nodes)
2
>>> len(component.edges)
1
