Bird

class pyaedt.modeler.advanced_cad.actors.Bird(bird_folder, speed='2.0', flapping_rate='50Hz', relative_cs_name=None)

Provides an instance of a bird.

This class is derived from pyaedt.modeler.multiparts.MultiPartComponent.

Note

Motion is always forward in the X-axis direction.

Parameters:

bird_folderstr

Full path to the directory containing the definition of the bird. This can be changed later.

speedfloat or str, optional

Speed of the bird. The default is "2.0".

flapping_ratefloat or str, optional

Flapping rate. The default is "50Hz".

relative_cs_namestr, optional

Name of the relative coordinate system of the actor. The default is``None``, in which case the global coordinate system is used.

Methods

Bird.position_in_app(app)	Set up design variables and values to enable motion for the multi-part 3D component.
Bird.start(app)	Initialize app for SBR+ simulation.
