cape.pyfun.dataBook: Post-processing for FUN3D data

This module contains functions for reading and processing forces, moments, and other statistics from cases in a trajectory. Data books are usually created by using the cape.pyfun.cntl.Cntl.ReadDataBook() function.

# Read FUN3D control instance
cntl = pyFun.Cntl("pyFun.json")
# Read the data book
cntl.ReadDataBook()
# Get a handle
DB = cntl.DataBook

# Read a line load component
DB.ReadLineLoad("CORE_LL")
DBL = DB.LineLoads["CORE_LL"]
# Read a target
DB.ReadTarget("t97")
DBT = DB.Targets["t97"]

Data books can be created without an overall control structure, but it requires creating a run matrix object using cape.pyfun.runmatrix.RunMatrix, so it is a more involved process.

Data book modules are also invoked during update and reporting command-line calls.

$ pyfun --aero
$ pyfun --ll
$ pyfun --pt
$ pyfun --triqfm
$ pyfun --report

The available components mirror those described on the template data book modules, cape.cfdx.dataBook, cape.cfdx.lineLoad, and cape.cfdx.pointSensor. However, some data book types may not be implemented for all CFD solvers.

class cape.pyfun.dataBook.CaseFM(proj: str, comp: str, **kw)

Iterative force & moment histories for one case, one component

This class contains methods for reading data about an the history of an individual component for a single case. It reads the Tecplot file $proj_fm_$comp.dat where proj is the lower-case root project name and comp is the name of the component. From this file it determines which coefficients are recorded automatically.

>>> fm = CaseFM(proj, comp)
