AVL Operation Constraints

Structure for the AVL operation constraints tuple = ("Name of Variable", "Constraint"). "Name of Variable" is variable to be constrained and must be one of:

• "A" or "Alpha"
• "B" or "Beta"
• "R" or "Roll rate"
• "P" or "Pitch rate"
• "Y" or "Yaw rate"
• "Control surface name"

The "Constraint" must be a JSON String dictionary key/value pair (e.g. "Constraint" = {"Alpha": 10.0}). "Constraint" must be one of:

• "A" or "Alpha"
• "B" or "Beta"
• "R" or "pb/2V"
• "P" or "qc/2V"
• "Y" or "rb/2V"
• "C" or "CL"
• "S" or "CY"
• "RM" or "Cl roll mom"
• "PM" or "Cm pitch mom"
• "YM" or "Cn yaw mom"
• "Control surface name"

An example of trimmed flight would be

avl.input.AVL_Operation = {"Alpha"   : {"CL":1.6},
                           "Beta"    : {"CY":0.1},
                           "Aileron" : {"Cl":0.0},
                           "Elevator": {"Cm":0.0},
                           "Rudder"  : {"Cn":0.0}
                           }

Note: these constraints may override the inputs
