Unable to obtain similar results as the tutorial example from user manual

[johnZYW]

Hi Hydra Developers @zlovering @nenanth,

I was reading the All-electric tandem tilt-wing tutorial example and realized it has same keyword values for input, defaults.yaml files as the cases/Beta_44_275_freq case. But after i ran the case myself, the results are slight different.

In my log.yaml output file, the power_installed from Vehicle section, rotor_power_reqd, battery_power_draw and C-rating from Mission section all appear to have values of 0, while the tutorials have non-zero positive values.

I have been trying to back-track at where these values are defined, and they appear to have been initialized as 0 but not assigned values afterwards. After inserting self.p_ins = powerplant.p_ins to line 154 of march_one_step.py and ** self.rotor.groups[rgid].p_req[iseg]=P_plant*0.001** to line 188 of engine.py, Im getting reasonable values for power_installed and rotor_power_reqd, but unsure if its the correct way of doing. Would be grateful if you guys can help me out. Thank you.

Regards,
Yuwen

Seems OK at first glance. Those power numbers look about right for the weight class you're getting.

Hi nenanth,
Thanks for the reply. For c_rating, i can find a definition for it in the electric motor class, but it is not imported anywhere is the codes. Is it possible you can tell me where i could import and use this class ?

It’s battery c rate, defined as instantaneous power / rated energy (1/hr)
