cape.attdb.rdbaero: Database Template for Aerospace Variables

This module contains extensions and extra methods that are common to many (atmospheric) aerospace databases. This includes definitions for variables like “angle of attack,” “total angle of attack,” etc.

class cape.attdb.rdbaero.AeroDataKit(fname=None, **kw)

DataKit extension for aerospace applications

Call:
>>> db = AeroDataKit(fname=None, **kw)
Inputs:
fname: {None} | str

File name; extension is used to guess data format

csv: {None} | str

Explicit file name for CSVFile read

textdata: {None} | str

Explicit file name for TextDataFile

simplecsv: {None} | str

Explicit file name for CSVSimple

xls: {None} | str

File name for XLSFile

mat: {None} | str

File name for MATFile

Outputs:
db: cape.attdb.rdbaero.AeroDataKit

Generic database

make_alpha_beta(col1='alpha', col2='beta')

Build alpha and beta cols if necessary and possible

Call:
>>> db.make_alpha_beta(col1="alpha", col2="beta")
Inputs:
db: cape.attdb.rdbaero.AeroDataKit

Data container with aerospace tags

col1: {"alpha"} | str

Name of new column for angle of attack

col2: {"beta"} | str

Name of new column for angle of sideslip

Effects:
db[col1]: np.ndarray

Created if no other key with "alpha" tag present

db[col2]: np.ndarray

Created if no other key with "beta" tag present

Inputs:
db: cape.attdb.rdbaero.AeroDataKit

Data container with aerospace tags

col1: {"aoap"} | str

Name of new column for total angle of attack

col2: {"phip"} | str
